AR00


AR00.1 - Customer Group

**Form Purpose
Use Customer Group (AR00.1) to define and maintain customer groups. A
customer group identifies a group of customers shared by one or more accounts
receivable companies. The ability to share customers across companies greatly
reduces system setup time.

**More Information
When you define a customer group, you select customer numbering options and
define cross-company aging and currency defaults. The aging options you define
for the customer group default to company records unless you override them at
the company level.

Click the EFT Calendar link to define calendar options for processing
electronic funds transfers (EFTs).

After you define customer groups, use Company (AR01.1) to define accounts
receivable companies.

AR00.2 - EFT Calendar

**Form Purpose
Use EFT Calendar (AR00.2) to define EFT calendar processing options. You can
link EFT processing to a predefined calendar. Through the environmental
calendar definition program you can define a calendar with marked days
(typically business days) and unmarked days (weekends/holidays). The EFT
calendar is assigned to the customer group record.

Use this calendar to select open items for EFT processing. For example, if
the EFT request is for the next business day, enter 1 in the Due Days field,
and select M for a Due Days Type.

**More Information
If you are using a national account structure, add the calendar to the
national account company to process EFT transactions across the national
account company/customer structure.

Note Unless you enter an override date, the EFT processing programs use the
system date as the default date.
