Additional Information
SU20 Menu Options

The Customer Contact Accounts (ibis_su20) Header record allows you to create the Customer/Contact record for which the Contact Info and/or Mailing List information is to be applied.

  • SU20 is used to set up customer contacts are apply the contacts to Mailing Lists for use in the Customer Mailing List (ibis_su21) program. Each contact is uniquely identified by the Customer code plus a contact code and each customer can be assigned multiple contacts.

  • This combination is used by Enterprise when creating references between the contact record and various other systems such as SU21 and Customer Master (ibis_sucu.su13) (when selecting a 'Contact to E-mail' for statements and invoices).

The following list defines every field in the Header section of SU20:

  • Customer - enter or select from the query a valid Customer code. Once a Customer code is entered, the Customer Name displays to the right of the field. Note: If an invalid Customer code is entered the Customers query automatically opens.

  • Contact - this field is used to enter or look up existing contacts for the current Customer through the Contact Browser. If you want to create a new contact for the current customer, then enter the contact's information on the Contact Info folder; this field is automatically updated with the information entered in the 'First' and 'Last' fields.

    • When you use the query to select an existing contact, the Contact Browser window opens. For more information on the contact browser, click here.

  • Contact Key - this is a system maintained field. The contact key is the numeric identifier assigned to the contact in PointForce iTopia.

The following table outlines the functionality of the button on the Contact Info folder:
