Customers overview
Goal
Understand what a customer is in BlueMatrix and how the customer hub fits sales, AR, and related work.
Who it is for
Sales / AR clerks and managers with party.view. Profile balances need customer_profile.view. Hub actions use party.update, party.delete, party.link, party.erase, or consent.manage as labeled below.
How customers fit the cycle
- Create a customer party (person or organization) from Customers → New customer.
- Optionally mark Also a supplier so the same party appears under Suppliers.
- Use the party on sales quotes / orders / invoices, receipts, CRM, POS, portals, and other entitled modules.
- Open the customer hub (row click) for identity, AR KPIs, roles, global identity link, consents, and module tabs (Sales, Statement, CRM, …).
- Archive (soft) when the customer should leave active lists; do not hard-delete. GDPR erase is a separate privileged action.
