Page URL: Card Files

How To

Navigate to Transport > Configuration and Setup > Card Files (Customers/Suppliers/Staff) > Customers tab.

This section contains your customer base. Customers are entities that pay for consignments.



This section of Transvirtual allows for the setup of the account’s customer base, representing the entities responsible for paying for consignments.

Creating Customer Cards

Option 1: Add Individual Customers

    1. Click Add Customer
    2. Enter the customer name
    3. Click Add




    The customer record opens automatically.

    Configure the following details as needed:

    • Customer codes (for integrations or imports)
    • Contact information (appears on invoices)
    • Finance settings (invoicing terms)
    • Logins (for customer users who create consignments and check tracking)

    Option 2: Bulk Import Customers

    If required, you can import multiple customers using a CSV file. This is useful when you have tens or hundreds to create.

    Before importing:

    1. Click Export Customers (top right of the customer list grid)
    2. Save a backup of current customer data

    To import:

    1. Prepare a CSV file with customer data
    2. Click here for CSV format requirements and template
    3. Access the import function
    4. Map the CSV columns to the corresponding fields
    5. Click Next to import

    Example CSV columns:

    • Customer Name
    • Customer Code
    • Contact Name
    • Email Address
    • Phone Number
    • Address
    • Payment Terms

    Note: Imports add new customers without overwriting existing data. Existing customers remain unchanged.


    Customer Login creation

    Prerequisites: The customer card must exist before creating a login.

    1. Open the customer record
    2. Select the Logins tab
    3. Click New User
    4. Enter the required details
    5. Click Add






    Idea
    Multi-customer access: Set "I Understand this user/password may be linked to multiple customers" to YES if this login needs access to multiple customer records. This allows one login to view consignment data across multiple customer accounts.

    Configure additional details:

    • Double-click the login to open the customer user card
    • Update settings as required



    Provide the login credentials to the customer user. They can now access the account and create consignments for linked customer records.

    Note: Customer logins can access only the consignment create and search pages by default. Click here for information on changing access levels.
