The Acme Importer  can be used to import new and update existing customers and contacts.

 

If you have an integrated host accounting system all or most of your customer (and inventory) data can be imported and updated continually from host into Acme.

 

1.You can enter customers into your HOST accounting system and import them into Acme. You would not need or want to enter them in both places.

2.Generally cash customers are entered directly into Acme and customers that will be granted credit will be added into the accounting system by your credit manager and then imported into Acme.

3.With some host accounting systems customers added into Acme can be pushed into accounting as part of Post to Host process. See host specific documentation for details.

 

How do I handle Customers entered into Acme First? -Unless your Acme Data Pump is configured to auto-add customers into your host accounting system, the transaction in accounting will be posted to the Host Substitute Customer. To avoid this add the customer (using same customer code) into the host accounting system, prior to posting.
