Working with Mail/Call Codes (WMCC)

Purpose: Use the Mail/Call Code table to define codes that specify how often, and under what conditions, you will call or send mail to customers.

You can define mail and call codes for sold-to and ship-to customers. See Creating and Updating Customers for more information on working with different customer types.

Note: The system defaults the value in the Mail flag field (either Y or N) to the Mail code field when you create or change a sold-to customer. (The Mail flag setting itself defaults from the Default Mail Name (D10) system control value.) For this reason, you should define Y and N as valid mail codes in the Mail/Call Code table, so that the system will accept the default as a valid value in the Mail code field.
