Use the Customer Group Table page (CUST_GROUP_TBL) to group customers who share the same functionality.
Navigation:
Use customer group tables to group customers who share the same functionality in order to define processing criteria for the entire group instead of for individual customers. The system comes with predefined functional customer group types. After setting up customer groups, use the General Information - Customer Group Info page to assign individual customers to the customer group.
Note: You can associate customers with multiple groups for Accounting, Allocation, Alternate Sources of Supply, Buying Agreements, Back Orders/Reservations, Claimback Contracts, Collections, Direct Debit, Draft Management, Freight, Pay/Bill Management, Pricing, Reporting, value added tax (VAT), Tax, and Transportation, but you can associate each as a member of only one group type, either Forecasting or Pricing Arbitration Plan.

Catalog Number |
The catalog lists all of the products that a particular customer group is either authorized to purchase or, in the case of an exclusive catalog, not allowed to purchase. This listing provides an easy way to associate groups of customers with a specific product catalog. You do not have to go to each sold-to customer and attach a product catalog to each customer ID. |
Include/Exclude Type |
Displays based on the catalog number selection. |
Use the Standard Notes page (STD_NOTE) to establish standard notes.
Navigation:
You can set up standard notes to reuse. For example, you might have a standard note to announce a seasonal promotion or a note to thank customers for a particularly large order.
In PeopleSoft Order Management, you can view notes that are associated with customers or products on order and quotation headers, lines, and schedules. In PeopleSoft Billing, you can view notes that are associated with customers.
This PeopleSoft application is delivered with many enterprise integration points (EIPs) to send and receive standard note data with a third-party system or another PeopleSoft application, such as CRM. These EIPs are service operations within PeopleSoft Integration Broker.
The PeopleSoft application delivers the service operations in PeopleSoft Integration Broker with a default status of Inactive.
