All companies (Customers, Supplier, Subcontractors and Other) are maintained in the same screen, with appropriate attributes to distinguish between them. The Companies Maintenance screen has multiple tabs where you can update various fields.
There are numerous options to be used on Companies. This section covers only those that are required to be set up for a new company.
