Customer Types

Customer types classify customers and ensure that special handling occurs at point of sale. You can also use customer types to organize information on several reports. When you start a work order, TireMaster looks at the customer’s type code to determine the following:

Whether you’ll be prompted to select a vehicle
Whether you’ll be prompted to select a tax level
Whether to include add-on items on the work order
Which general ledger accounts to post the completed sale to

TireMaster comes with several customer types that you can customize, or you can add your own. The type codes for your default retail and transfer customer types are set in System Controls.
