Customer
Staff guide for viewing and managing customer contact records.
What Is A Customer?
A customer is a wholesale customer record used by Sales workflows. Staff use customer records to identify who an order or invoice is for, store basic contact details, keep billing or delivery address information, and manage the people who work at that customer.
Customer records are shared reference data. Sales pages may read customers while staff create Sale Orders or Sale Invoices, but changing the customer record itself is Contacts management work.
