Create a new customer record
Description

There are two ways to create a customer record. You can either create one from within Sage 50 Accounts, or you can import customer records via an Excel spreadsheet or CSV file, which is useful for when you need to create multiple records.

We'll run you through the steps below to create customer records.

Create a customer record

 

  1. Click Customers then click the New/edit drop-down and click New.
  2. Enter the details for the record.

    You can add an opening balance at this point, however we recommend you enter these later using the Opening Balances steps.

    TIP: In Sage 50 Accounts v27 and above, you can add a custom alert to appear when you create an invoice, quote or sales order for this customer. 

  3. Click Save then click Close.

Alternatively, to use a wizard, click Customers then click the New/edit drop-down and click Wizard.


Import multiple customer records

If you already have your customer details in an Excel spreadsheet or CSV file, to save time you can import the records into Sage 50 Accounts.

If required, you can delete old or unwanted records.
