Sell-to Customer No. Field, Sales Header Table
Specifies the number of the customer that the items on the invoice will be shipped to.
To see the customer numbers that have been set up in the Customer table, click the field.
When you enter the customer number here, the program will retrieve information about this customer from the customer card.
If there is a primary contact attached to the Sell-to Customer that you select in this field, the program copies the contents of the Primary Contact No. field on the Customer Card to the Sell-to Contact No. field and updates the Sell-to Contact field with the name of the primary contact.
You can change this field as long as you have not posted the shipment. If you try to enter a different customer number, however, you will have to answer the following question before the program will make the change:
Do you want to change Sell-to Customer No.?
If you answer Yes, the new customer number will be entered on the sales header and existing lines.
Important
All sales headers contain two customer numbers, one (Sell-to Customer No.) indicating which customer you will ship the items to, and one (Bill-to Customer No.) indicating which customer you will send the invoice to.
Unless you specify otherwise, the program will automatically enter the sold-to customer number in the Bill-to Customer No. field, so that the invoice will be sent to the same customer as the items.
If the Bill-to Customer No. field on the customer card contains a different customer number, the program will retrieve the bill-to customer number from that field. All customer-related information regarding invoicing, discounts, statistics and so on will refer to the customer who will receive the invoice, not the one who receives the items.
