Customer Back Office Setup - Credit

Overview

Updated 07/08/2021

 

In Customer Back Office Setup, the Credit sub-category records customer bank and credit card information. A user can add and edit banks, credit cards, and other payment mechanisms like debit cards.

 

 

Field Description
Credit Limit The limit on the credit card.
Hold Code The reason to hold the credit card.
Default Payment Option The payment option used as a default.
Comment Notes regarding the credit card.
Warning Value Type Either Percent or Amount.
Warning Value

When the credit extended to a customer reaches the amount or percent listed here, the system generates a warning message that the customer has reached the Warning Value.

 

For example, if a customer has a credit limit of $20,000, a Warning Value can be set at $18,000 to warn that the limit is approaching. 

 

NOTE: When a warning value is reached, a Data Requirement Message (DRM) generates. This DRM type cannot be set in the Customer > Back Office Setup > Credit area, however, the DRM type can be adjusted in Admin Tools by a credentialed user. To adjust the DRM type...

 

  1. Navigate to Start Page > Actions menu > Admin Tools > Data Requirement Message
  2. Search for the term "Credit Limit" in the Stored Procedure column
  3. Click on the DRM row to be adjusted
  4. From the Error Type drop-down menu, select Warning or Severe
    1. 'Warning' allows a user to continue after acknowledging the DRM
    2. 'Severe' does not allow a user to continue after acknowledging the DRM
