Enter Markets

Explanation

Use this activity to view, modify, or enter the markets in which your company works, using up to 10 alphanumeric characters for the code. You can then specify a market for every customer. This market then will appear as a default on all customer orders for that customer. The default market can be changed on the order. Statistics can be obtained per market. This functionality allows you to group and analyze customers by market sector, separately from region, district, or sales group. This optional entry allows more flexibility in generating reports and statistical analysis. For example, you could create a market code to group all governmental agencies, or specific targeted markets that you want to closely follow.

Prerequisites
