If the client receives a discount from the list price, this will be entered here. This is only relevant for customer cards.

Customer Setting tab

Fields

Field

Description

Customer Tender

The default tender to be used when this customer is invoiced. If a tender is set here, the sale will automatically use this tender when it is finalised, 

Customer Tender Mode

If the customer tender mode is set to Enforce you will not be able to change the tender on the sale it will use whatever tender is set on the Customer tender field. 

If the customer tender mode is set to Default, this will pre populate the tender that is used on the customer tender field however it will allow users to choose a different tender.

Payment Term

The payment term that has been assigned to the customer. Payment should then be received from the customer based on these terms.
Ensure you assign the right payment term to the customers card.

"Customer" tender method won't be avialable when tendering sales if:

1. There is no customer on the sale
2. The customer on the sale has a "Customer Payment Term" of "From Invoice Date" with zero days.

Supply Type

The way in which goods are allocated to sales orders placed by this customer.



AllocateBack OrderShip
Allowed
Use Case / Notes
AllocateAny stock that is availableRemaining quantity(tick)Default. Used in majority of cases.
IgnoreNoFull quantity ordered(tick)

Behaves like stock allocation was turned off. This has several implications. No stock allocation and autowarehousing will not produce a picking slip for this e.g., displayed stock "never" to be allocated. If you click on the ship button, the whole on order quantity will be extracted to the sale shipment. As sale shipments include everything on order when stock allocation is turned off. Could be used in the case where the customer has their supply type set to Ignore and their order is always drop shipped from the supplier (purchase order raised from sales order)

You can set a supply type on all lines of the sales order to Ignore and hit ship and use the Show In Report to get a Pro Forma Invoice that you can send the customer before you actually do invoice them.

PriorityAny stock, even if it's been allocated elsewhereRemaining quantity(tick)Urgent orders.
In StockOnly allocate if full quantity remaining on order is availableNo(tick)

The behavior of in stock is only allocate stock if the full quantity remaining on order is available. If full quantity is not available fully back order the item. Allowing users to purchase the whole amount.
