Contact template fields
Although it is true that not all the fields in the template are mandatory, the more fields we complete the better detailed the information will be in Holded . Below we indicate the fields that you should not leave empty, although you can always complete them once the template is imported:
- Fiscal name : Registration name of the contact to import.
- Contact person: You can include this contact in the emails you send to the company in question.
- NIF / CIF : (essential field) Holded will use this information to relate the invoices.
- Address : Information that will appear in the documents.
- IBAN : It is necessary in case you want to make remittances.
- Mandate Ref: It will be included in the contact's file and you can use it to remit invoices. Find out more about remittances in Billing> Enter your SEPA details.
- TAGS : These are labels that will help you identify the contact documents within Holded. If you want to add + of 1 you must separate them by "_" .
- Customer / Supplier Account (8 DIGITS) : In the case of leaving this field blank, Holded will automatically complete it when creating the first Purchase or Sale Invoice with the contact.
- Contact type : Choose between "Not specified, Customer, Supplier, Deal, Debtor, Creditor". It has no effect at the accounting level!
