A customer provides the mechanism for you to raise sales orders within SYSPRO.
The static information captured against a customer is used when processing sales transactions and determines, for example, the tax and discounts applicable.
Documents generated from these transactions (e.g. invoices, credit notes, debit notes) are also stored against the customer.
The customer code can be used as a filtering tool when generating reports.
Customers are maintained using the Customers program (Program List > Accounts Receivable > Setup).
This is a single large payment processed from a primary customer instead of smaller multiple payments from many individual customers.
This type of payment is processed using a customer group. A customer group comprises a primary customer (who is liable for settling the payment) and multiple associated downstream secondary customers. A customer group is created using the AR Customer Group Maintenance program.
A group payment is created, executed and processed using the AR Group Payment Run program.
This is the customer against which the single remittance for payments from multiple secondary customers is processed (i.e. recipient of the aggregate payment). This single remittance is known as a group payment.
Primary customers are created and maintained using the AR Customer Group Maintenance program.
This is one or more downstream customers who issue payments to a primary customer in a customer group. The primary customer then settles the payment via a single remittance for these individual payments received (i.e. group payment).
Customers for group payments are defined using the AR Customer Group Maintenance program.
