About export types

Export types determine the automatically suggested sales account on sales or customer invoice lines and sales order lines. You can set an Export type in the Customer classes (AR201000) and Customer locations (CR303010) windows.

Export type on customer location

When you have a customer with a location in a different country than the main location, requiring a different sales account, you can give the location the appropriate export type. The system reads the Export type value from the customer location first, and if not set, from the customer class.

There are situations where the above table does not apply. For more information, see: About suggested sales accounts.
