The Sales & Service section is designed to assist customers that utilize a sales staff. This area can be used to track information about sales calls and service communications with customers.
The Sales & Service section is divided into two tabs which are located at the far right of the main pane.

The Sales Info tab in Customer Sales & Service is designed to store and organize information about completed and potential sales.

Payroll Section
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Weekend Day | The day of the week on which the pay period ends. This field is utilized for the Week Worked day when creating new transactions in Time Entry. If no value is entered here, the system will use a default day of Sunday. |
| Pay Period | Frequency at which payments are issued. |
| Pay Cycle | Select the pay cycle from the drop-down menu. The options available will change based on the Pay Period selected. See Pay Period & Pay Cycle Reference below for a full breakdown of available options and examples. |
| Certified Payroll | Indicates that the customer's payroll is certified (typically required for publicly funded construction contracts). |
| Generate Daily Time Entry |
Select the check box to require daily time entry.
Note: This prevents employees' hours from being entered in Time Entry > Sheet View.
|
| Create Transactions by Month | Check this box if this customer uses exact month billing. This checkbox activates the exact month billing process. This feature requires daily time entry, so the Generate Daily Time Entry box must be checked to activate this option. |
| Daily Pay Option | Select an option from this drop-down to determine how the system assigns a Week Worked date for Daily Pay. If you will be paying employees the same day that they work, Avionté's best practice is to select Current Week, which will record payment for today's date. Using the Open Week option will use the Accounting Period dates, paying the employee following the second work week. |
Options Section

| Skip Weekly Call | Check the box to indicate that the customer does not want to receive a call every week. | This will affect the number shown in the Weekly Calls and My Weekly Calls counters. |
