Big Red Book Accounts v5
Setup: Customers
Before you can enter sales invoices, or details of receipts from Customers, it is necessary to enter basic
Customer information into your Sales Ledger. By setting up a Customer (or Debtor) you are creating a Sales
Ledger Account which is used to hold details of sales made to and payments received from your
Customers.
To set up Customers you will need their business Names and Addresses (and the Contact Names,
Telephone and Fax numbers etc. if you wish to use them). You will also need a list of the opening balances
on your Customer accounts.
Add a New Customer
Select
Customers
from the Setup menu or the Lookup Screen.
At the Customer browse screen click on
Add
A screen similar to the one below will be displayed:
Note: Price Level and Sales Rep. are only displayed when the Stock Module is used.
Account Code
You will be asked to specify a unique code for each Customer. Each code can be up to 8 characters long
and can consist of all numbers, all letters or a combination of both. If you are already using a coding system
you may wish to retain it. If you wish to set up new codes we recommend that you consider the following:
If using purely numeric codes pad out with zeroes
001
,
002
etc. rather than simply 1, 2 etc. so that sorting
will be consistent in reports and lookups.
