Create a Salesperson

Create salespersons for your transactions and sales credit assignments.

Receivables provides the default salesperson No Sales Credit. If the Receivables system option Require salesperson is enabled and no salesperson is defined, then No Sales Credit is populated by default on all transactions. If AutoAccounting depends on salesperson, then you must assign revenue, freight, and receivable general ledger reference accounts to No Sales Credit. These accounts are required when creating a debit memo reversal or when entering transactions with No Sales Credit.

To create a salesperson, complete these tasks:

• Create a User as a Salesperson

• Assign Resources to the User

• Define Receivables Salesperson Reference Accounts

Create a User as a Salesperson

You can create a new user or update an existing user as a salesperson.

To create a new user as a salesperson:

1. Navigate to the Create User page.

2. Enter personal details for the user.

3. In the Employment Information section, select Employee in the Person Type field.

4. In the Resource Information section, select Salesperson in the Resource Role field.
