Contact Category (for adding COG)

Based on system settings the system could allow users to add Customer Owned Products.
In this case the system can add a contact/call automatically and store that contact/call for
a certain follow up person. Therefore a Contact Category will be used as selected here.

Activity per Business Unit

Purpose

In the product structure the highest level is Activity. Examples; Dust Control, Linen,
Garments, Clean Room.
Per Business Unit it needs to be determined what Activities are handled there.
This is a MUST prior to be able to perform any type of service.
When the Activity is entered here, the result will be that:
- The related product groups and related products can be viewed (so other will not be seen; it is a filter!)
- The services related to those activities, product groups and products can be contracted with customers
Please check the setting per Activity in this dialog: who takes care of invoicing of that activity?
Normally this will be the same Business Unit as the one that is processing
(US: this is a must for all Direct Invoicing).
In multi plant organizations it could be the case that central billing is done, disregard in
which business unit the services are done.
