Suspend Clients for bad credit

Posted on by 255

Hi everyone,

I wish suspends a customer who has bad credit. I understand that I can do from Cards> Sales> Customer and mark the checkbox "Suspend",but when you bill the client tells me that suspends, and show me a warning, if I choose "Yes", continues without problem and performs the billing; and this is exactly what I would not do, because any seller can bill despite warning.

How I can do to make the seller has no option to terminate a customer's bill suspends?

my product: Microsoft Dynamics GP 10 SP 4

    Eddy, We actually do not allow our "sellers" (I am assuming you mean your staff that is entering the order) to have access to the customer card. Nightly we run a SQL script that will look for customers that fall into certain categories (Over Credit Limit, Past Due Invoices, etc) and then we put them on Hold or "suspend". Now when a "seller" goes to enter an order for the customer, it will not allow them to because the customer is on hold (or suspended). Our process is actually a little more complex than this but I thought this would be the easiest to understand. Ron

    Eddy, you might want to get in touch with Mariano Gomez.  He's a GP MVP who is from Colombia originally, now lives here in the states.  You can contact him through his blog - http://dynamicsgpblogster.blogspot.com/.

    He would be happy to help you out with issues and will understand the dialect . . .

    Hi K Day, Thank you for your prompt response, I did the steps you mentioned and it worked very well. As I was saying our problems in Latin America is the support, and translation of the Spanish language Gp differs greatly from each country, the names of concepts change and it is difficult to understand on some occasions. Imagine that the translation was made in Colombia and Honduras is close but there is much difference in the terms we use. again thanks for your input ...

    Thanks for your comments, Are right, there is no checkbox that says "suspended". I was wrong when translated into English. It is correct to say "Hold". I use GP 10 in Spanish and concepts change according to region so my mistake because I have no support in Spanish. We can say that the problem is the same just replace "suspended" to "hold" Thank you for your attention

    Eddy, do you have a 3rd party product or a customization in your GP system that allows suspend?  There is no such animal in GP out-of-the-box.

     I am using GP 10 and I don't see any box called "Suspend."  On the customer card, I see Hold and Inactive.  Pressing F1 on that window explains them

    Inactive

    Mark to inactivate a customer record. You must reactivate the record before continuing to enter transactions for the customer. You can inactivate customer records only if they have no outstanding balances.

    Hold

    Mark to put a customer on hold. You can use customer holds to prevent any further sales to a customer if, for example, the customer has an unpaid balance. You can receive payments from customers on hold, however.

    There are also options in Setup -> Sales -> Receivables where you can enter a password that the user must type to take the customer off hold.  If they have access to the setup screen too, it sort of defeats the purpose because the password is visible
