Client Information

Mandatory Fields

Field Description
Company Name

The primary name for the client company.

If the client is an individual, see the Individual section, below.

Duplicate Client Names

When you create a client or supplier with a Company Name that already exists, an alert will appear with the options to:

  • View the Existing Client
  • Proceed to Save Client, or
  • Cancel.

If you use an accounting integration link, we recommend you check your accounting package to see if it accepts duplicate Client and/or Supplier names.
Short Name

AroFlo creates a short name automatically once you've entered a Company Name. You can override the name AroFlo creates by typing over it.

This field is a secondary identifier for this client. All tasks created against this client will reference this short name.
First Name

First name of the primary contact at the client company, or of an individual for non-business clients. For business clients, you can change this name if the contact person changes.

 
Last Name

Last name of the primary contact at the client company, or of an individual for non-business clients. For business clients, you can change this name if the contact person changes.

Field Description

Record your client's national business taxation number (e.g. in Australia, the Australian Business Number).
Individual

If your client is an individual rather than a company, complete the First Name and Last Name fields and then check this box. AroFlo will update the Company Name field to match the first and last name you entered, in accordance with your naming convention set in Site Admin.

Select the transaction terms for this client from the dropdown box.

  • A range of default transaction terms are included with AroFlo or set up in Site Administration. If you need additional transaction terms, please contact your site administrator.
  • Once you save the client after selecting a transaction term, you may have a coloured banner at the top of the client card.

Record the company's physical address in these fields. The Address field is powered by Google, just like the Location Name field. Just enter the street address and make a selection from the list Google presents. The City, State, Postcode and Country fields will auto-populate.

 
GPS Coordinates

If you made a selection from the Google suggestions for the address field, the GPS Coordinates will automatically display here. If you typed the address manually, tap Auto-Generate to update the GPS coordinates for this address.

Mailing Address

You only need to complete these fields if the mailing address is different from the billing address, e.g. if you want to add a Post Office Box address.
