Thanks for sharing, it is very helpful, may I ask if it will be the same to maintain contacts for customers? Is it still necessary to maintain it in the partner function level? So during sales document creation, we can select a contact into the Partner Functions? Thanks.
Hello Philip,
You can maintain the same contact person to the customer as well.
Please check the below screenshot. Hope this answers your question.
