From FloristWiki
This information applies to FTD Mercury X2 Fall and later versions.
The House Account tab in the Customer Detail Information window allows you to set up a house account for customers and view house account information. Defaults for house accounts are configured in Mercury Administration.
The House Account tab contains the following settings:
| Setting | Description |
| Account ID | Enter the customer’s house account ID. FTD suggests you use the first five letters of the customer’s last name, followed by the first two letters of the first name as your convention. However, you can enter your own alphanumeric account number, or click Auto to have FTD Mercury automatically assign an account number. You cannot change the account ID for any built-in customers for FTD Mercury. These include:
|
| Accounting Type | Select whether this customer account should use open item or balance forward accounting.
