How can I link a default SalesPerson, or Selling Price with a client?
In SIMS, you have the option to link a particular Salesperson and a Price category with a Client. This functionality caters for more accuracy when selling from SIMS, as the prices and salesperson are picked up automatically without the need of inserting them manually for each invoice.
