Applicable if your company uses ALK’s PC*Miler|Streets mileage application. The ALK button allows you to check the validity of the address and city/zip combination. When you click it, the system does a comparison of your entry in the company profile with the PC*Miler|Streets database.

First set of company classifications that your business uses to group its companies.

The name and options for this field are user-defined. Setup occurs in the Other Type 1 label in the System Administration application.

Second set of company classifications that your business uses to group its companies.

The name and options for this field are user-defined. Setup occurs in the Other Type 2 label in the System Administration application.

Note: If you are using Microsoft Dynamics GP as your accounting package, your entry in this field can turn on the ability to transfer the first reference number recorded in the invoice header to the Document Number field in Microsoft Dynamics GP. To use the entry in this way, you must add an option to the Other Type 2 label that has REF as the value in its ABBR field. You also must select this option in the Other Type 2 field in the company profiles of the customers for which you want to transfer the reference number, as well as the Trimble invoice number. For example, you may have Bill To companies that typically reference the reference number in the invoice header, often the Bill of Lading, when they remit payment.

Using this feature allows the system to transfer the first reference number and the invoice number. So, if the first reference number is 45633 and the invoice number is 8776A, the document number would be sent to Microsoft Dynamics GP as 45633-8776A. A hyphen is always inserted to separate the reference number from the invoice number.

Applicable for companies for which invoices are to be sent to a different company. Enter the ID of the Bill To company to be billed for orders placed by this company.

When you enter an order in Order Entry or Dispatch and you record a company’s ID in the Order By field, the system will look at the company’s profile to determine whether it is marked as a Bill To. If it is not, it will check the entry in the Default Billto field, and then automatically populate the order’s Bill To field with that ID.

Note: When the Bill To checkbox in the Switches section is selected, this field must be set to UNKNOWN to prevent billing problems.

Applicable if you want to classify multi-company customers. Select the classification to which this company belongs.
