The Customer module in XoroERP facilitates efficient customer management by capturing essential information and offering customization options.

{% hint style="info" %}
To create a customer, users navigate to **Menu > Sales > Customer Section > Customer**&#x20;
{% endhint %}

To create a customer, users navigate to Menu > Sales > Customer Section > Customer and fill in primary details such as Customer Type, Company Name, and Sales Rep.

Further details are added through tabs such as Contact Info, allowing for the input of email addresses, phone numbers, and addresses. The system selects the email for communication, based on a hierarchy. The Payments tab enables setting up payment information, including default accounts and payment terms, while the Shipping tab configures shipping details.

### Use Cases

The Sales Tax tab facilitates tax configuration, and the Other Info tab allows for additional details like Business Number and Customer Tags. Users can enable/disable notifications and manage portal settings in dedicated tabs. Custom Fields provide flexibility for unique business requirements.

Advanced Configuration options optimize order allocation processes, while header-level options like Create Duplicate and various action buttons streamline workflows. These actions include creating estimates, sales orders, sales receipts, invoices, and sending portal invitations or direct debit requests.

The module also allows for updating existing customer information, providing comprehensive functionality for efficient customer relationship management within XoroERP.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.xorosoft.com/xoroerp-1/sales/customer-section/customer.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
