set setup(disable_overdue_customers) 0
If you want to disable overdue customers automatically at period end you can set the number of days overdue they have to be. Enter 30,60,90 or 120.
See Accounts Receivable Period End for more details.

set setup(customer_discount_update) 0
Turn this option on (1) to enable automatic creation of customer special pricing (discount) records during order and invoice entry. If this option is on then every time a sales line is entered with a special price the system will prompt the user if they'd like to store this price permanently in the customers discount screen.

set setup(customer_discount_review) 90
This specifies the default number of days a discount is valid before it expires. The discount expiry date will automatically be set to today's date plus this number of days.

set setup(customer_barcodes) 0
Turn this feature on to enable the customer barcode facility. You can enter customer's barcode details in customer maintenance and you can print barcode labels for their use.

set setup(customer_discounts_email_footer) ""
If you are emailing customer discounts direct to customers for their own use you can set a footer that appears on the email. Contact your fastbase support staff for more details.

set setup(customer_contacts) 0
FastBase normally just records delivery addresses for each customer.
Enable this option to add the ability to store contact details also, each delivery address that is added to a customer can be defined as a delivery address, contact or both. This is provided to assist with customer marketing.

set setup(cash_customer_entry) 0
This setting modifies the behaviour when entering invoices and sales orders so that if the customer is a cash sale account (see Customer Preferences) the computer will prompt the user to enter the customer name and address/contact details. If these are entered then a new customer account is created automatically.
This option effectively provides an easy way to create new customer accounts at the time of entering sales orders (or invoices).

set setup(discounts_by_code) 0
This option specifies whether you can define customer discounts by product code also. The default (0) allows you to specify discounts by product type only. See Customer Discounts for more details.

set setup(statement_paid_invoices) 1
Customer statements for open item customers by default include all invoices that have been paid for the current month.
Set this option to 0 to suppress paid invoices.

set setup(statement_minimum_balance) 0.01
This option determines the default Minimum Balance when Print Customer Statements. The default of 0.01 means that all zero and negative balance customer statements will be suppressed.

set setup(sort_areas_by_name) 0
This option determines how areas are sorted, either by name or area code. The default is area code. See Utilities - Areas.
