The client is the entity which has need of products and services to be provided by your company.

Keeping an updated Clients register is a very useful tool for various industries. From small businessmen to multinational companies, whenever a company sells a product or service, be it to the end consumer, resellers or producers, it needs to know and store the knowledge about what the entities with whom it does business are.

Clients may be classified as one of the following five types: End Consumer, Agricultural Producer, Reseller, Solidarist and Export. This division is due to tax calculation, which is different for each type.

In terms of concept, most of the time an Outbound Document is generated, the recipient is considered a client, regardless of the type or the role assigned by the company.

It is important that the clients register be as complete as possible, enabling maximum information to be provided and controlled by the system. The more comprehensive the register is, more features the user has on the system.

Some fields, whether mandatory or not, should always be filled in, since they enable the system to manage critical information.

Important:

  • If you need to edit the clients register, the Script option is available to help the process of qualifying, running and querying answers in it. This option is located in the register's top bar.
  • It is possible to assign a different profile in the clients register itself, where you can determine the profile, its validity and a note regarding the differentiated client.
  • When ERP Protheus has an integration with the Shipping Freight Management (SIGAGFE), this register is integrated with the routine Issuer Register (GFEA015).
