View party data

Like account and contact data, party data can be accessed through a user interface (UI). The dual-write party and global address book solution version 3.3.0.5 provides a Party page where you can view, create, and manage party records together with all their associated customers, vendors, and contacts, and their postal and electronic addresses.

On the Party page, you can create a new party of the Person or Organization type.

The following illustration shows a party of the Organization type on the General tab.

Example of a party of the Organization type.

After a party is created, you can use the tabs on the Party page to manage it.

Customers and Vendors tabs

The Customers tab lets you create and manage one or more customers from the party for different companies. If the party type is Person, you can create and manage customers of the Person type. These customers are known as contacts. If the party type is Organization, you can create and manage customers of the Organization type. These customers are known as accounts.

Creating a customer for a party in the Quick Create: Account dialog box.

The Vendors tab resembles the Customers tab, but it's used to create vendors of the Person or Organization type.

Postal Addresses and Electronic Addresses tabs

The Postal Addresses tab lets you create and manage one or more postal addresses for the party. You can create as many postal addresses as the party requires. These addresses appear on the quotation and sales order pages.
