Every business object in the system manages the attributes that are stored for the different entities in the system.
Two key business objects that manage the information for both customers and the created orders are:
•TScustomerBO: Enables you to set which criteria to use when determining the uniqueness of a customer. You can use this to help prevent the creation of duplicate customer accounts.
•TSorderBO: Enables you to set expiration dates for gift certificates, balance due dates for any order with an outstanding balance, renewal dates for gifts and to define whether or not best available searches or map sales can leave behind single seats.
You can use the Registry - System::Business Objects::TScustomerBO category to prevent the generation of duplicate customer accounts.
Caution Depending on how you configure this category, and how large your database is, checking for duplicate accounts can impact performance. Contact Support for help. |
