Linking a customer to a ledger account

This account holds all of the financial postings for the customer. When you add a new customer you can create the associated debtor/receivables account at the same time by entering all of the chart of account details.

A customer must have an account before it can trade. To do this it must have either its own account, or be linked to another customer who does have an account using the Invoicing Customer Code. This allows more than one customer to be linked to the same ledger account. It is used for multi-site customers, where the customer has a number of locations or sites where only one of which is the central invoicing point.
