Edit Contact Panel

The information in this panel reflects the currently selected contact. From here you can change contact details (fields will display a red left border if a value is required and purple text if the field is read-only and cannot be modifiednote: fields with a magenta left border are required).

Contact Fields and Options:

...

  • Country: the country that the contact resides in

  • Address 1: the address of the contact

  • Address 2: secondary address information (floor number, room number)

  • City: the city that the contact resides in

  • State/Province: the state or province that the contact resides in

  • Zip Code: the postal/zip code for the address

  • Tax Jurisdiction Code: This code The tax jurisdiction code (a.k.a. pcode) is automatically determined in systems configured to tax using AvaTax. The Jurisdiction code is based on the saved contact address and is used to determine what taxes to apply to service charges on the account. Jurisdiction codes are only evaluated on service or billing contacts, tax jurisdiction codes on other contact types are not used when determining taxes. This value can be manually overridden so that taxes for an alternate jurisdiction can be applied to transactions if needed (for instance, taxes applicable at a contact's previous address could be applied to a credit). If this value is manually overridden the previous tax jurisdiction code will be listed within the Tax Jurisdiction Code field to let you know what the last previous jurisdiction code was set to. Manually entered jurisdiction codes will be automatically updated (i.e. overwritten) if a new address is entered and then saved on the contact
