Overview

Contacts are the Organisations and Individuals that you transact with. They can be Suppliers or Customers (and even both!).

Derived Contact Information

A number of useful values for Contacts are derived:

  1. Became Customer is the earliest date of an APPROVED or PAID Sales Invoice.

  2. Became Supplier is the earliest date of an APPROVED or PAID Bill (aka Purchase Invoice).

  3. Last Sales Activity is the latest date of an APPROVED or PAID Sales Invoice. This does not include any forecast/draft invoices.

  4. Last Purchase Activity is the latest date of an APPROVED or PAID Bill (aka Purchase Invoice). This does not include any forecast/draft invoices.

  5. Lifetime Sales Value is the total amount of any APPROVED or PAID Sales Invoices.

  6. Lifetime Purchase Value is the total amount of any APPROVED or PAID Bills (aka Purchase Invoices).

A contact may have both Sales and Purchase activities, although typically they will have only one.
