Tip: The Customer's billing address information can be copied to the shipping information fields by clicking the Copy from Billing Info button. - In the Financial Info section, enter the price structure, terms, tax structure, and credit card information in the appropriate fields. This information will appear in the same fields by default for each Estimate-Quote, Job, and Invoice created for this Customer (which may also be overridden, if necessary).
- In the Ledger section, type the general ledger codes for the Customer in the appropriate fields. General ledger codes can be used for viewing and reporting information based on the Invoices that have been created for the Customer.
