Specifies the customer to whom you will send the sales invoice, when different from the customer that you are selling to. By default, the name and address of the customer that you are selling to is entered.
If there is a primary contact attached to the Bill-to Customer that you select in this field, the program copies the contents of the Primary Contact No. field on the Customer Card to the Bill-to Contact No. field and updates the Bill-to Contact field with the name of the primary contact.

| All sales headers contain two customer numbers, one (Sell-to Customer No.) indicating which customer you will ship the items to, and one (Bill-to Customer No.) indicating which customer you will send the invoice to. |
Unless you specify otherwise, the program will automatically enter the number from the Sell-to Customer No. field in the Bill-to Customer No. field, so the invoice will be sent to the same customer as the items.
If the Bill-to Customer No. field on the customer card contains a different customer number, the program will retrieve the bill-to customer number from that field. All customer-related information regarding invoicing, discounts, statistics, dimensions and so on will refer to the customer who will receive the invoice, not the one who receives the items.
You can change the contents of this field if it is not appropriate for the situation. If you try to enter a different customer number, however, you will have to answer the following question before the program will make the change:
Do you want to change Bill-to Customer No.?
If you answer Yes, the new number will be entered on the sales header and existing lines.
