Customer Ribbon Menu

The Customer ribbon menu has five sections; Customer File, Sales Transactions, A/R Transactions, Customer Reports and Customer Utilities. The purpose of this chapter is to provide a detailed overview of the new ribbon menu structure and the options found on the Customer ribbon menu.

 

 

Customer File Section

The first section in the Customer ribbon is Customer File. Here you will find the features that support adding and maintaining each customer's information into the system. The next sections will cover Maps Keywords, Customer File Maintenance, the Contact Manager, and Comment Maintenance.

 

Maps Keywords

What is a Keyword?

A keyword is any word or short phrase that describes a website topic, page, business or a map location.

 

Use this tool to create and maintain a database of key words or phrases for finding customer locations using the Google Maps tool.

Use the Add, Edit and Delete buttons to maintain your customer keywords database.

 

Payment Terms Maintenance Utility

The Payment Terms Maintenance Utility allows you to manage existing payment terms and define new payment terms for your entrée system.

 

The utility will load all the payment terms already used in the system so you can manage them.

 

 

 

Use the Add, Edit or Delete buttons to manage your company Payment Terms in this utility.

Edit or Add payment terms in the text box and click OK to save.

Payment Terms Menus

Security Access

You can control access to the Payment Terms Maintenance Utility via the Security Manager Settings for each entrée User Account.

 

If a user account is not authorized for access, the option must be unchecked in the Security Manager.

 

They can only select from the values in the drop down menu and not add terms values.

 

If a user has security for Terms they will be prompted to perform the add when entering a new payment term value that is not already in the Terms list.
