Customer Type
Use the Customer Type activities (27.20.4) to create, modify, view and delete codes for grouping customers. You can use customer type to select groups of customers for reporting, in particular for sales analysis reports. Customer types are system-wide data and apply to all domains and entities.
You can also define GL sales accounts by customer type, channel, product line, and site in Sales Account Maintenance (1.2.17). This lets you separately track sales and cost of sales amounts for different types of customers.
