Re: Large numbers of Customers

[Dieter S. <dsi...@sq...>]

The default customer is the last customer you used when you a) added a
new AR transaction or invoice or b) when you edited a transaction or
invoice.

The same principle applies to order entry and vendor invoices and AP
transactions.

I have to dig up the 'POS' and plug it into the code yet. It's probably
going to be in one of the patch release.
