One Customer record should be created for each inventory location that will be receiving IFT transfers from other inventory locations as follows.
1. Select the Customer Master program from the menu.
2. Enter "COVE-IFT" into the Account field of the program.
3. Enter the IFT customer name into the Customer field of the program. This Customer record should only be used to process IFT transactions and therefore should have a name that identifies what it is to be used for (for example, "IFT Customer - Location MIA", or "IFT Shipments to MIA" might be used for a Miami warehouse location with a location code of MIA). This would be the Customer record used by the system when an IFT transfer is made from an IFT shipping location to the MIA inventory location.
4. Enter the address to which the goods should be shipped and the payment terms, credit limit, shipping method and other information to be used for this customer record. This information will be used by the system to process the sales orders that are automatically created by the IFT system. Note: The invoices which are created by the system when IFT transactions are processed are "loaner" invoices and the system will not allow you to charge shipping or sales tax on these invoices regardless of the information entered in the Ship Via, Via Terms, Tax Code, and Tax Type fields.
5. Save the record by pressing the SAVE key.
