The operator looks for Mrs. Jones on the customer list and selects [Edit]. Next, he opens the tab Addresses and selects the customer’s previous shipping address. He enters appropriate changes on the form and confirms them.
The Groups tab presents assigned customer groups. In order to allow granting customers in Comarch POS special discounts and bonuses assigned to customer groups in Comarch ERP Enterprise system, it is possible to add a customer to a specified customer group.
In Comarch ERP Enterprise, it is necessary to define which customer classifications and groups should be available for selection on the POS workstation.
Example
The company prepared special promotions for customers belonging to a Gold group -20% on the new collection. What is more, customers belonging to a VIP group are granted a -50% discount on the entire assortment. On the ERP system’s side, the company decides that the VIP group is to be managed by the headquarters only and that shop employees will only be able to assign customers to the Gold group. The VIP group can be read only.
| No. | Customer group name | Bonus |
| 1 | Standard | None |
| 2 | Gold | -20% on new collection |
| 3 | VIP | -50% on entire assortment |

For retail customers, you can select the following fields for verification:

- Last Name
- Phone
- E-mail Address
For business entities, you can select the following field:

Note
Duplicate detection is always initiated on the local POS database. Next, if no duplicates are found there, verification with Comarch ERP Enterprise takes place.
