In J-Guar, customer and supplier information is recorded by selecting record types. The AR/AP record type is used to classify AR/AP cards. The classification is aimed to provide increase in automation and flexibility in reporting.
AR/AP record types are:

Customer

AR/AP records the company is selling to.

Supplier

AR/AP records the company is purchasing from.

Customer + Supplier

AR/AP records that are both customers and suppliers.

Association

Association AR/AP records. Group is an AR/AP group formed to sell a material. Purchase transactions can be performed and collection risk totals can be tracked through Groups.


Supplier and customer records defined on the Finance module can be accessed from the Sales and Purchasing sections, and new definitions can be made through these sections. Supplier and customer AR/AP records are recorded from the Purchasing Management and Sales Management modules respectively. Therefore, slips or invoices cannot be issued from the Purchase module to customer AR/APs, or from the Sales and Distribution module to vendor AR/APs. AR/AP records with Customer + Supplier type can be processed from both modules.
