  Tip

Customer master data is an important information but many times sales executives do not fill it completely or correctly.

You can filter the customer master by the created date. Use this functionality to list out recently added customers & prospects. Display all relevant columns and check the report.

Correct and complete the data as required and train/warn executives to enter correctly. Typical mistakes include: Wrong spellings, incomplete information such as email address, address etc., Industry types, region etc.

  Case Study

Full Order Invoicing Mandate

Customer Introduction:

This customer supplies material for projects.

Problem / Goal:

It is sometimes demanded by the customer that the order must be invoiced in full. That is all the material must be invoiced through only one invoice. Without a proper system lock it is highly dependent on personal skill and memory. It was required to full proof the mistake of invoicing multiple times in such orders.

The Solution:

We have provided for a setting in Sales order to force single invoicing. In case a user tries to invoice without adding all the material on the order, the system warns the user.

The Result / Benefits:

Thus such mistakes are now avoided thus helping in keeping a good image with the customer and avoiding losses caused due to such mistakes.
