Difference between a client and a general contact

There are some differences that distinguish a client from a contact:

  • Clients are individuals or entities such as companies that you do work for. They must have a client code assigned to them.
  • Contacts (General) are individuals or entities such as companies that your practice may come into contact with as part of its work.
    For example, prospective clients, suppliers of products and services such as banks, and shareholders, directors, or partners that you may need in your database but do not do work for.
