From Address Book (G01), enter 27
From A/B Advanced and Technical Operations (G0131), choose Credit Message Reference
Credit messages, sometimes referred to as flash messages, are valuable tools for communicating caution or special handling instructions about customers. You can view all addresses to which you have assigned a credit message code and easily update the credit message.
You revise credit messages when a customer with financial difficulty needs to pay you directly instead of through the mail or when a group of customers were updated with the incorrect credit message.
Examples of address book credit messages include:
-
Over credit limit
-
Requires purchase order
-
Bad credit risk
Messages are stored in the Address Book Master table (F0101).
