Sage CRM Instance ID

Enter a Sage CRM instance ID, or click the Lookup button to list all instance IDs. A Sage CRM instance ID is defined in CRM Server Options to designate a Sage CRM installation.

If an instance ID is already associated with the current company, it will be automatically selected and cannot be changed.

 

Allow Customer Creation from Sage CRM

Select this check box to allow Sage CRM users to create new Accounts Receivable customers for the purpose of relating them to Sage CRM companies. Clear this check box if you do not want to allow Sage CRM users to create new Accounts Receivable customers. If this check box is cleared, Sage CRM users can create relationships for Sage CRM companies only with existing Accounts Receivable customers.

 

Automatically Assign Customer Number

Select this check box to assign the next customer number entered in the Next Automatic Customer Number field in Accounts Receivable Options when new Accounts Receivable customers are created from Sage CRM. Clear this check box if you do not want to automatically assign the next customer number for new Accounts Receivable customers created from Sage CRM.

This check box is available only if the Allow Customer Creation from Sage CRM check box is selected, and the Auto Increment Customer Number check box is selected in Accounts Receivable Options.

Note If the Accounts Receivable Divisions check box is selected in Accounts Receivable Options, new Accounts Receivable customers created from Sage CRM are assigned the same division number as the salesperson creating the customer.

 

Default Customer Template

Enter the customer template to use when new Accounts Receivable customers are created from Sage CRM, or click the Lookup button to list all customer templates defined in Customer Template Maintenance. The selected customer template is used to enter required fields when new Accounts Receivable customers are created from Sage CRM or through the Relationship Management Wizard.

The Default customer template provides a set of default options for new customers.

 

Allow Customer Template Selection from Sage CRM

Select this check box to allow Sage CRM users to select a customer template other than the default template when creating new Accounts Receivable customers from Sage CRM. Clear this check box to allow only the default template to be used for new Accounts Receivable customers. This check box is available only if the Allow Customer Creation from Sage CRM check box is selected.

 

Prospect Customer Number

Type the Accounts Receivable customer number to use for the Sage CRM Prospects customer. The Sage CRM Prospects customer record in Sage 100 is used for all quotes created for Sage CRM companies that do not have a relationship with an Accounts Receivable customer. An entry at this field is required.

The Sage CRM Prospects customer must be a new customer. When a customer number is entered, the Customer Maintenance (On the Fly) window appears; some nonessential fields are omitted to speed data entry. Access Customer Maintenance at a later time to complete the remaining entries for the Sage CRM Prospects customer. The prospect customer information maintained in Customer Maintenance is entered by default for all Sage CRM prospect quotes in Sales Order Entry, but it can be changed.

Note If divisions are not set up and you enter ALL as a customer number to create a customer on the fly, you will not be able to enter a record for that customer in Line Item Commission Maintenance.

You can change the current prospect customer number only if there are no prospect quotes on file for the number. For more information, see Customer Relationship Management FAQs.
