When you are done

  • The receivable and payable accounts fill in from the account mapping, by contact type.
  • After saving, Finday opens the contact's detail page.
  • Contacts in the Active stage appear in the customer and vendor lists on transactions.

Common problems

The contact does not appear when creating an invoice or order

Its stage is still Prospect. Open the contact, set Customer stage or Vendor stage to Active, then save.

A company is both a customer and a vendor

Tick both Customer and Vendor under Type. The receivable and payable accounts adjust automatically.
