Bonded Customer

If you have a customs or an excise warehouse, it allows this customer to hold stock which is not duty paid.

Has Reserve Customers

When you wish to store stocks within the account where those stocks (rotations) belong to other individuals. Each rotation will have a reserve customer associated with it. Learn how to set it up here → Setting Up Reserve Customers

Archive Customer

As you can not delete a customer from the system the next best option is to archive that customer. It stops any new stocks or products from being added but you will retain all the information for the customer.

Fixed Product Dimensions on Receipt

This allows you to carry the singles per case (SPC) figure on each rotation you receipt for a product. The product remains as the master record with no changes allowed.
When placing an order the product master SPC is used to calculate the quantity of singles needed which is then applied to each rotation to fulfil the quantity required.
