Block a sales contact linked to a project (temporarily)
There are two ways to block a sales contact that is linked to a project. This has consequences for the actions you can perform on the project.
- Blokkeren voor levering
If you select this check box, that has consequences for the data entry in the sales process. For this sales contact you can:
- No longer create a sales order.
- No longer create and modify a packing slip.
However, you can still create a sales invoice.
- Block completely, no longer visible
You can no longer use the debtor in the sales process (orders/packing slips/invoices) and the debtor is no longer displayed in the views (unless you explicitly opt to display blocked debtors).
You can still make financial entries if Blocked for delivery and Block completely, no longer visible are set. Profit does not check this, so you can make a financial entry if you receive an amount from a debtor.
Blocking debtors does not affect the financial completion (for example, of payments and outstanding items).
