Customer Group

Create and maintain customer group records. Customer groups define default terms, GL accounts, and pricing settings for their members. The customer group list allows searching by code or name and provides an Add button that opens the detail form to create a new group. The detail form includes a Details tab with a Custom Fields tab also available and supports a dashboard view.
