Introduction
Operators are able to add Organizations from the Back Office. This article will go over that process and the information required.
Adding an Organization
To add a Organization, click '+ Add Organization' in the top right corner of the customer module view.
General Settings
Fill out the form. Fields marked with a red asterisk * are required.
- First & Last Name*
- Code - This field is used to identify a Customer in reports and accounting
- Phone*
- Email*
- Additional Email Addresses - Email addresses entered here will receive copies of order confirmations and invoices
- Address - When a Organization is first added, this will be the default address for invoicing. However, multiple addresses can be added after a customer is registered.
Service Charges
To assign an Organization to have a service charge or charges assigned to all their orders, choose from existing charges shown here.
Customer Analysis Fields
If the account has customer analysis fields set up, assign them to a Organization here. Learn more about customer analysis fields here.

Settings
-
- Account on Hold - Toggling this will prevent a customer from placing orders
- Payment by Account - This setting will allow customer's to use Account Codes as a form of payment at checkout. Operators may see B2B, which refers to Order Flow One. If the account also has Order Flow 2, they will see another option for B2C.
- Payment on Delivery - Reach out to a Customer Success Specialist to see if this feature is right for your account
- No Minimum Order Amount - If the account has a dedicated minimum dollar value required to checkout (ex: Minimum $100 order to checkout), you can exempt a customer from that setting by toggling this box
- Require Cost Center - This setting makes it required for the customer to use a Cost Code (aka PO number, Department Code, etc) when checking out
- Web Registered - If showing "False", that means the customer was added via the Back Office. If showing "True", the customer registered themselves via the Online Ordering website
- Notes - Notes input here will show as a pop up in the Back Office whenever an order is created by a Back Office user
Invoicing
- Invoice Notes - Notes here are for internal use and reference. (ex: Always send a copy of the Invoice to hq@abclawyers.com)
- Use Custom Frequency and Terms- Caterers can override the default custom invoice frequency and terms per customer here
Sales Tax Override
Sometimes a customer will need to be taxed differently from the accounts default rate. For example, to make a customer "Tax Exempt", choose the rate within their customer profile.
