Multi Works Addresses

Idea suggested by john hamilton 10 years ago

I am looking at moving over to clearbooks because everything we need is in 1 package.

However I have 1 question which will be the decider.

We work for several large retails chains which have store up and down the country. We would need to be able to record the relevant store address on the invoice along with the billing address.

Can this be done? As all I can see is that we can only input 1 delivery address per client.

I'm sure someone will be along from CB's in the morning to say if this is possible or not - it's not a request i've come across so far so would hate to give you dud info. This brief thread from last yr would suggest not though:

Were it to be a no, possible workarounds I can think of:

  1. create a new client for each store? Next (Coventry) PLC, Next (Birmingham) PLC and so on?
  2. use the 'reference' box to quote the store address
  3. use the 'summary text' box to quote the store address

....none ideal of course but it saves walking away from such a great system because of something so small....

Hi John,

This isn't actually a feature I'm afraid but I have now converted this into an idea for you.

Though not completely ideal, I do agree with the workarounds suggested by Kevin which you may want to use in the meantime.

How do we produce a statement for this client if we are setting them up as multi clients?

I would guess individually but that's probably not what you want to hear.

Maybe options 2 or 3 would work better in that case.

That's right. You will have to produce a statement for each of the clients individually I'm afraid.

You can create a bulk statement on the customers list by clicking on the 'Statement' button but this will make one big PDF including of all of your customers' statements. There isn't a way to select which customers to add or remove from this statement.
