These options let you control which traders the selected login can view or edit.

It also allows you to automatically assign a rep to sales orders.

When Limited rep is selected (and the customer is assigned to the login with Limited Rep > Select Traders), a sales order's Rep is automatically set to the user entering an order when that user is a rep , and the customer does not have a Rep allocated.

    • Limited rep – login can only view the traders (from the Trader Card, and when creating new orders and other transactions) to which he/she has been allocated.
      • The contact linked to the login is allocated a rep under the Company Contact Details tab.
      • Traders can be allocated a rep under the Trader Details tab.
      • When Limited Rep is selected:
        • the login can only view and edit the traders (and create transactions for them) who have been assigned the same rep as they have
        • where a customer has been assigned to them, when they create a sales order, they are automatically assigned as Rep to the order.
      • Select Traders – In addition, the login can view and edit the traders added to this list.
    • Limited rep and account manager – control which traders and transactions an account manager and rep can see.
