The first stage to setting up a client on Mintsoft is to add the client details and pricing tariff for picking / storage / goods in etc.

Go to Clients > Add New Client

Then fill in the general information first - short name is used for account codes if you use these for your customer for accounting platforms etc:

Address data & contact information is optional, but recommended if the client ships internationally.

We do recommend that the clients VAT number and EORI number are populated further down if they ship internationally:

Next go to to the picking costs tab and enter your picking costs for this client;

Next go to the storage costs tab and select the method of storage.

Selecting the option to automatically calculate according to frequency will set the system to automatically start charging for storage:

Next up go to the goods in tab and enter the charges for goods in when receiving ASNs in your warehouse:
