Account Setup

MoversSuite Administration > Customer Service > Account

 

Define accounts that are referenced through MoversSuite. These accounts are typically volume movers and may be tied to a van line. If so, the account number used to identify these accounts should match that assigned to them from the van line.

 

Accounts are referenced throughout MoversSuite from the Billing Information screen and within the Account Profile module (see the Account Profile topic for more information). 

 

NOTE:  These accounts differ from Customers that are defined within Microsoft Dynamics GP for accounting purposes.

 

Reference the table below to define and manage Account records:

 

National Account Field

Description

General tab

 

Account Number

Enter identifier for the account (up to 15 characters).

Notes:

The account number does not impact the assignment of the AR or who holds the AR for an order.

National accounts are typically volume movers and may be tied to a van line, in which case, the number used to identify these accounts should be the same that was assigned to them from the van line.

Inactive

Setting this flag marks this record as inactive and users will not see this record as an option within the Account and National Account listings in MoversSuite, such as within the National Account field on the Billing Information tab, within the Account Profile Setup, and Sales Lead Information screen. Use this option if you cannot delete the record (because it links to another record) and do not want it available to users in MoversSuite.

Notes:

 

Generic National Account

 

MoversSuite recommends that a generic account be created primarily to be used to assign Task Definition records to in the case that no account really needs to be associated to them.   An example would be an account with the Name of “Generic Account” and an Account Number of “9999999999.”

 

Military/Government Accounts

 

MoversSuite recommends defining a general military account(s) to be referenced as a default billing account for military orders.  It is suggested to use “Military” for both the Name and Account Number field values. 

 

Defaults can be established for each branch of the military, as well.  Examples include “Military – Army” and “Military – Marines”
