Add Supplier Contacts

There are two locations that supplier/creditor contacts can be inserted into the system. The first is noted in the procedure below, the second is from the Product module when a supplier has been selected and the credtor information is displaying on the screen users can add creditor contacts from the Product > Product Setup > Supplier > Contacts menu.

This screen enables contacts to be added, changed and deleted for a supplier. Supplier contacts are used in Tourplan’s messaging system to provide an automated phonebook when messages are sent by email or fax to a supplier. Prior to the set-up of a contact, a list of standard contact types must be set up in the Code Setup application.

If contacts have already been inserted a full list of contacts are available to view when selecting menu Product Setup > Supplier > Contacts or from the Financial Menu Financials > Creditors > Communication > Contacts.
