If your client has multiple addresses, click on Add address again to add another.

If this client has special requirements, or there is important information that needs to be taken into account, add Additional comments underneath the addresses.
Click Save after entering your client information. If you try to navigate to the following Contacts tab without clicking Save, a warning message will appear that you will lose any unsaved changes.

If you have created multiple addresses, select the correct one from the dropdown. After you’ve entered the contact information, click Add.
The final tab is the Sales conditions tab.
You’ll first need to Add master conditions of the Sales conditions to specify specific conditions.
Master conditions are used to fall back on when no other specified conditions are available. Click on Add master condition. Add the standard conditions and click Save.
Click Save once you have entered your master conditions. Once added, you can start adding other Sales conditions.
Clicking on Add condition will open up a side menu where you can add more Sales conditions with more information, such as Branch, Supplier, and Product as well as your profit per weightbreak.
If you haven’t already added individual sales conditions, you can link your client to a client group.
Be aware if you select an existing client group, it will remove any conditions you have previously entered for this client. A warning message will appear beforehand.
For any changes made to your conditions, always click Save.
