Discounts can also be applied to a specific customer account. Any time that customer makes a purchase, a discount will be applied.

Customer Accounts

The following screen is used when receiving payment on account:

We have divided customer accounts into two divisions, Corporate accounts and Personal accounts. The two divisions have different types of data included in customer information.

Corporate accounts will not need to keep this type of data but they may need to keep a legal name and a doing business as name. Also corporate accounts often have a different ship to address from their mailing address.
