What the Contacts page is for

The Contacts page is the master record for customer and supplier details. Quotes, jobs, invoices, and purchasing workflows all work better when the contact data is complete and accurate here first.

Recommended workflow for the Contacts page

  1. Create the contact before building quotes, jobs, or purchase orders so the system can reuse the record everywhere else.
  2. Complete the key details first: business name, main contact, address, phone, and email.
  3. Set the correct account type so the record appears in the right workflows.
  4. Attach any important files and then test the record from the page that will use it next, such as Quotes or Purchase Orders.

FAQ

Yes. Supplier details are best maintained here so purchasing and replenishment workflows can reuse the same clean record.

Account type controls how the record is used elsewhere in the system, so setting it correctly keeps the contact available in the right workflows.

Check your user permissions. The Contacts page uses permission controls, so editing actions may be limited by role.
