Useful info

About job roles

You can set a job role for people that you add as contacts for a supplier account (in the Sage 200 desktop).

When you create a supplier account, a blank default contact record is created. This contact record automatically includes the mandatory job roles for Account and SendRemittanceTo.

When you add more contacts to the supplier account, no roles will be added to these additional contact records.

Use the Account role for the person who is the main contact for this supplier account.

This is the same as setting the person as the Default contact. The default contact details are automatically used by Sage 200 on common reports such as the Aged Creditors Report in the Sage 200 desktop, and on the Supplier List.
Use the SendRemittanceTo role for the person who will receive documents and letters for this supplier account.

Sage 200 uses the default email address of this contact when you send a statement.

To assign a job role to a contact, set them as the Preferred Contact for that role in the Sage 200 desktop.

Note:

You can apply multiple roles to a contact.
Each role can only have one Preferred Contact for that supplier.
You can't delete a contact if they are the Preferred Contact for one of the mandatory roles Account or SendRemittanceTo. You must first set a different contact to be the preferred contact for either of these roles in the Sage 200 desktop.
