Credit Order Fields

Field Description
Customer

This field displays the information of the customer who returned the items, including their contact details and attention person to whom the shipping information is directed. Once order lines are created, you can no longer update the customer's name and/or identification number.

If you are creating a new credit order, Maconomy retrieves the customer information from the Customers workspace, but you can make the necessary changes.

Reference This field displays the customer contact with whom you spoke about the credit order, if applicable.
Bill to Customer

This field displays the bill-to customer's name to whom the payment information for the order is addressed. It also includes the bill-to customer's address, attention person, and additional contact details.

You can only update the bill-to customer name or identification number. After you select a name or number, Maconomy retrieves the bill-to customer's contact information from the Customers workspace automatically.

Sales Rep. This field displays the name and number of the employee who serves as the sales representative for the current credit order. Maconomy automatically assigns a representative who commonly sells to the current customer, but you can update this field as needed.
