How do I use buying groups?
Summary
The Sales Order Processing and Workshop systems may be used to produce an invoice to a buying group account. The goods are recorded against the customer account whilst the invoice is recorded on the buying group account.
More Information
- Create and assign your buying group to your customer.
The invoice produced will use the buying group as the invoice account whilst the customer/delivery address will display the customer details.
When payment is received from the buying group, allocate the payment to the invoice using Sales Ledger Receipts.
 | The items sold on the order or jobcard will be displayed in the customer CRM to allow reports to be produced on sales to the customer. The invoice will be displayed in the buying group customer history and CRM. |
