H. Customer
To get to the Customer File screen, click on File -> H. Customer.
The customer file keeps record of all your customers' information. While the database is independent and fully capable if only using the BestPOS program, it does fully integrate into the BestRx database and utilizes those records in searches. When linked to the BestRx database, any new record you enter will insert itself into the BestRx customer database for an easier, more convenient way to keep record of your customers across both systems.
To search for a customer simply type their name in the "Customer" field. You can narrow the results to only charge (house) account customers by checking the "Show Only Acc/Rec Customers" box. If you wish to edit the record simply click the corresponding line. To add a new customer, simply click "Add Customer".
The required fields for entering a new customers are Customer Name, Family Name and Date of Birth. Any other information is optional, and some is purely informative.
