This screen allows you to enter information that will control how invoices, customer statements, and payments will be processed for the customer.

CUSTOMER NUMBER

Display only.  The customer number entered on the Function Select screen.

CUSTOMER NAME

Display only.  The name of the customer whose credit billing information is being entered.  The name was entered on the Sales Information screen.

CORPORATE CUSTOMER

Optional.  This is the customer number of the parent entity customer of which the current customer is a subsidiary customer.  A customer bill-to record must already exist for this corporate customer number.  If the corporate customer number entered is the same as the customer number, this defines a corporate entity to the system.  If the corporate number does not equal the customer number, this links the customer to a different corporate entity.

CUSTOMER TYPE CODE

Optional.  Identifies the category in which the customer should be included for retrieving sales accounts on Reference File category 302.  Valid customer types are found on Reference File category 311.

PAID-BY CUSTOMER

Optional.  The customer that normally pays the bills for this customer.  During corporate payment application, you can view a list of all bill-to customers associated with the same paid-by customer.  This simplifies the effort of applying a payment to invoices for multiple customers.  It is typically used as an interim level in the corporate customer structure.  For example, a paid-by customer might pay invoices for all bill-to customers in a region, while customers in all regions are part of the same corporate structure for pricing and credit checking.

CUSTOMER CLASS CODE

Optional.  Identifies the category in which the customer should be included for sales analysis by customer class.  In addition, default values will be copied to the fields in this conversation based on the customer class.  Valid values are defined on Reference File category 310.

RELATED VENDOR

Optional.  If this customer is also a vendor, this field contains the corresponding vendor number.  This field has no effect on system processing but is validated against the Vendor Master File (APMASTP).

STANDARD INDUSTRY CLASSIFICATION CODE

Optional.  Identifies the customer by standard industry classification.  Valid values are defined on Reference File category 312.

ALLOW DISCOUNTS FLAG

Required.  Indicates whether cash discounts (based on payment terms) should be allowed for the customer.  Valid values are:

Y - Allow discounts.

If the Customer Class is entered, then this field will be defaulted from the Reference File category 310 with the value corresponding to the entered customer class code.

RECEIVABLES ENTITY CODE

Optional.  Identifies the entity receiving the customer's payments.  Valid values are defined on Reference File category 314.

ALLOW PARTIAL PAYMENTS FLAG

Required.  Indicates whether an application of a payment can partially pay an open item for the customer.  Valid values are:

Y - Allow partial payments.

N - Do not allow partial payments; i.e., each payment application must close an open item.

If the Customer Class is entered, then this field will default to the value from the Reference File on an add transaction.

PAYMENT TERMS

Optional.  Determines what the payment terms will be for the customer.  This includes the discount percent, number of days discount allowed, and number of days allowed after the document date until the document is due.  Valid values are defined on Reference File category 323.  The user has the option to enter this value; otherwise, this field defaults from category 310 if Customer Class is entered, from category 029 if Customer Class is blank, or from category 300.  If the VAT declaration point is '2' and the company/location exists on Reference File category M12 with the Payment VAT Review flag set to 'Y', the payment terms cannot be associated with a draft payment type.

ALLOW UNDERPAYMENTS FLAG

Required.  Indicates whether small balance underpayments of open items can be written off for the customer.  Valid values are:

Y - Allow small balance underpayment write-offs.

N - Do not allow small balance underpayment write-offs.

If the Customer Class is entered, then this field will default with the value from the Reference File.

PAYMENT TYPE

Optional.  You may enter a code for the type of payment, such as a check, to be associated with the customer.  This code is used as a default on documents (invoices, etc.) created for the customer.  Valid values are defined on Reference File category 344.  If the VAT declaration point is '2' and the company/location exists on Reference File category M12 with the Payment VAT Review flag set to 'Y', the payment type cannot be a draft.

ALLOW TRANSACTIONS FLAG

Required.  Indicates whether any new transactions can be entered for the customer.  Valid values are:

Y - Allow transactions.

N - Do not allow transactions.

Required.  Indicates whether to print dunning messages for the customer.  Dunning messages are messages that inform the customer that he/she has a balance past due.  These messages will print on the customer's billing statements.  Valid values are:

Y - Print dunning messages

N - Do not print dunning messages

If the Customer Class is entered, then this field will default from the Reference File for an add transaction.

STATEMENT CYCLE

Optional.  Identifies the billing statement cycle for the customer.  A statement cycle of '00' and blanks represent the same statement cycle.  A statement cycle of '00' will appear as blanks because the display of '00' is suppressed.

VALIDATE PURCHASE ORDER

Required.  Indicates whether Purchase Order numbers on the Sales Order are validated for uniqueness against previous orders for this customer.  Valid values are:

Y - Validate PO number

N - Do not validate PO number

If this customer is used for EDI transactions, the flag should be set to 'Y' in order to make sure that a customer purchase order number is being sent with EDI SO Acknowledgement transactions.  If this is the case, the order number will also be checked to make sure that it is not a duplicate purchase order number (which can not be used by the EDI Sales Order Generation program).

DEFAULT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE CODE

Required.  This code determines the Accounts Receivable account in which a transaction receivable amount will be recorded.  This code will appear by default and be used for an accounts receivable transaction unless it is overridden by the user.  Valid values are defined on Reference File category 333.

CONSOLIDATED INVOICING FLAG

Required.  This field indicates whether or not you want this customer's sales order shipments to be billed with other shipments (for the same bill-to customer) on a consolidated invoice.  Valid values are:

Y - Consolidated invoicing is desired for this customer.  If Y (yes), at shipment time invoices will not be automatically generated.  Invoices can be generated collectively at a later time through the Consolidated Billing conversation.

N - Consolidated invoicing is not desired for this customer.  If N (no), at shipment time an invoice will be created automatically for each shipment.

The value of this flag defaults to N (no), but may be overridden.  Once established on this screen, the value of this field defaults to every sales order entered for this customer.  It can be overridden during Sales Order Maintenance, Blanket/Backorder Release, and/or the Shipping/Billing conversation.  However, the value this flag has at shipment time will be the final determination of whether billing is done at shipping time or is deferred.

DEFAULT BANK CODE

Required.  Determines the bank account into which checks or cash received from the customer are to be deposited.  This bank code will appear as the default and be used for all accounts receivable payment transactions unless overridden by the user.

HOME/EXPORT FLAG

Optional.  This field may be used to indicate if the customer is a home or export customer.  Valid values are defined on the Reference File category 406.  The value in this field defaults from Reference File category 300.
