HOW TO USE THE CUSTOMER SCREEN
This screen is used to create and update the customer database. The customer
database maintains information on customer addresses, phone numbers, sales
tax rates and discount schedules.
The five discount schedule fields are tied to the discount schedule field on the
Item screen. If an item is coded with a discount schedule number, then the
discount percentage in the customer's corresponding schedule number is applied.
For example, suppose an item has the number 3 in the discount schedule field.
The discount percentage in discount schedule 3 for a particular customer will be
applied. The discount schedule allows the application of different discount
percentages to different classes of items. For example, a company may want to
apply one discount percentage against computer hardware items and another
discount percentage against computer software items. This company could code all
the computer hardware items with the number 1 in the discount schedule field on
the Item screen. They could code the number 2 in the discount schedule field on
computer software items. They would then for each customer enter the discount
percentages for hardware and software in discount schedules 1 and 2. The
discount schedule fields can be left blank if there is no discount to be
applied.
