Function Select

RF029S01 - Function Select

This category allows you to define default values that will be used when you create a new customer in the Customer Master Maintenance conversation.   The defaults are defined at the same level that customers are defined.  For example, if you define customers at a global level, one record exists on this category for system-wide defaults.  If you define customers at a company level, you must set up a record on this category for each company in the system.  The defaults on that record will be used when customers are created for that company.  The level at which customers are defined is specified using the Currency Level field on Reference File category 133.

D - Days Overdue.  Compares the number of days the oldest unpaid invoice is overdue to the customer's Days Overdue Limit.
