Introduction
A default contact refers to the person regularly assigned as the point of communication between an organization and its supplier.
Let's suppose company X, in order to simplify communication and ensure a good business relationship, defines a default contact with supplier Y. In SoftExpert Supplier, this contact can be added in the Supplier (SL016) menu.
See how to create a default contact below:
