Adding Contacts

If you want to assign attributes to the contact records, you need to create the attribute codes and descriptions using the Contacts command on the Purchase Ledger - Maintenance menu. A contact can be classified as the account contact, order contact or other. You can only have one account and one order contact per supplier, but you can have as many 'other' contacts as you wish. If you want to change which contact is used for the account or order contact, you must first reclassify the existing account or order contact to 'other'. You can then choose a different contact.
