Creating an Agent and Assigning to Customers

This article explains how to add an agent to your customers. An agent is an individual or company that represents one or more fashion labels.

You firstly need to create a customer record of type 'agent' and then go into each customer and assign the required agent. When creating your sales orders, for the given customer, the required agent will automatically flow through to the sales order.

This is typically done to track agent commissions which will be pulled through your reports.
