Create New Customer

It is important to define which type of customer it is being created.

There are two types of customers:

Billing Customer: Customer that receives and pays an invoice for the purchase of goods or services.

2. Shipping Customer: Customer or location where the purchased goods are shipped to, known as the "marcación".

Before you create a customers, make 100% sure that the customer does not exist already in the system.

UNOSOF does block to create identical names, but any character change will be allowed.

Please use the filters to shrink the list and work more accurate. In case a rep leaves and another one takes over the accounts, simply select the previous person and mass assign all the accounts to the new one via the mass assignment tool. If you filter credit more than 0>, you filter out all the Billing clients to assign. If you filter all, you can see also all the shipping customers.
