Sales Records with Multiple Customers (Delivery Customer)
In certain business scenarios, it may be necessary to assign two customers to the same sales record. One customer serves as the billing customer or agent, while the other is the hirer. It is possible to set up your Customer Overview screen to include an invoice when either the billing or delivery customer is being viewed.
Viewing Both Customers in the Customer Overview
When accessing the Sales/Hire > Customer Overview screen and searching for a specific customer, a cog icon is positioned on the far right of the search field within the dropdown list.
Click on this icon to reveal the "Customer Search Settings" popup.
Select the option "Include sales where customer is delivery/pickup customer" and then save your settings.
Following this configuration, you will be able to search for the "hirer" customer and review all invoices where the hirer has been linked as the Delivery/Pickup Customer.
