Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central

Customer Blocking

Every customer has his or her purchase history where all orders, payment transactions, invoices, and deliveries are stored. All this information is stored in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. If some transactions have been already created for a customer, you will not be able to remove this customer in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, however you can block him or her and prevent from placing orders in a Sana webshop. You might want to block the customer for variety of reasons, for example until the customer pays his or her outstanding invoices.

A blocked customer cannot:

• see price and stock information
• place orders and quotes
• pay invoices
• convert quotes to orders
• create return orders

You can block a customer in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. Open the Customer Card, on the General FastTab, in the field Blocked select one of the available options.

No matter which option you select in the Blocked field, it will block the customer and prevent from placing orders in the Sana webshop. The customer can still log in to the webshop, but he or she will see a message at the top informing the customer that he or she cannot place orders, see prices and stock.

A customer can be also blocked, if he or she does not meet the requirements set in the table Data Validation Rules in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. For more information, see "Data Validation Rules".
