What is Customer Status: "One-Time" for?

Hello everyone,

I’m are trying to understand how Acumatica handles different Customer Status values:

  • Active

  • One-Time

  • Inactive

Our concern is that we cannot find any documentation explaining whether One-Time is just an informational flag or if it actually triggers different behavior in AR, Sales Orders, or any other module.

  1. Does One-Time behave differently from Active in any workflows?

  2. Is One-Time intended by Acumatica as a special-use status (e.g., guest/occasional customers), or is it simply an available label with no system logic attached?

  3. Are there recommended best practices for organizations that want to classify customers who are still valid but rarely used?

Thank y’all for any insight or guidance!

@SergioSP - Looks like you get to one crack at transactions, after which it goes inactive.

 

In my opinion, rarely used can be quantified while the account is still active by looking at the most recent transactions. I wouldn’t typically use the one-time feature for this. Furthermore,  you can put in place procedures to make accounts inactive at a certain time after the last transaction was made, too.

Hi ​@SergioSP .

@nickcerri32 is correct.  

For an infrequent customer some options to consider for reporting purposes would be the item class, an attribute or user-defined field, or a customer pop-up note.  The pop-up note will be displayed if a user selects the customer on a document.  None of these will prevent use.

Hope this helps!
