If you are using iOS or Android, the 'Customer Status' function is on the Tools menu (with 'wrench' icon).--- When you are reviewing the Contact record for a Customer, you can check their current account status using the 'Customer Status' function. When you select the function, a Customer Status report will be printed to screen. If you are using Windows or Mac OS X, you can include several Customers in the report. Simply highlight a number of Contacts in the 'Contacts: Browse' window and select 'Customer Status' from the Operations menu. To highlight a range of Contacts, click the top one in the range and then hold down the Shift key and click the last one. If you are using iOS or Android, you can only highlight a single Contact at a time, by searching for it, so you can only produce a Customer Status report for a single Customer. On all platforms, you can also open the Contact record for a Customer in a record window and produce a Customer Status report by selecting 'Customer Status' from the Operations menu (Windows/Mac OS X) or Tools menu (iOS/Android). In its basic form, this report will first show the Customer Number, Name and telephone number. This information will be followed by a list of the Customer's Contact Classifications. The five most recently paid Invoices will then be listed, as will all open (unpaid) Invoices. You can have much more information shown in the report, such as lists of recent Activities, Contract Quotations, Contracts, Quotations and Orders, and monthly sales figures for the past year. To have this extra information shown in the report, create a record for yourself in the Info in Customer Status Report setting in the CRM module. As you can create separate records in this setting for each user, you can control how much of this additional information will be shown to different users. You can effectively give each user a different report definition. Simply creating a record for yourself in the Info in Customer Status Report setting will add the Customer's address, Warning on Sales if there is one, Credit Limit and turnover for the first period in the Reporting Periods setting to the top of the report. The remainder of the report will then follow the specification in your Info in Customer Status Report record. If you are using the Open Invoices until Due Date only (Suspend on Overdue) option in the Credit Limit setting and a Customer has at least one overdue Invoice, their Credit Limit will be shown to be 0.00 in the report. If the appearance of the Customer Status report is not as you expect (i.e. the Customer's address, Warning on Sales if there is one, Credit Limit and turnover are not shown, and the report only lists Invoices), the probable cause is you do not have a record in the Info in Customer Status Report setting.
As previously mentioned, this function will print to screen a Customer Status report for the Customer currently on screen or for those Customers highlighted in the browse window. If you run the function for a Contact Person, it will produce a Customer Status report for the Customer for whom the Contact Person works (i.e. the Customer that is linked to the Contact Person in the Contact Relations register). The function will have no effect if you try to use it with other Contacts (e.g. with Suppliers). As well as using the 'Customer Status' function described here, you can also produce a Customer Status report using the following methods:
