Partners

Customers, suppliers, members of associations or political parties, individuals, banks and so on are all partners of the company, and their data is maintained here.

For the purposes of various automatic processing, every partner is assigned one of the following types:

Individual — citizens, employees, members of associations and political parties. Personal data and any information that could identify a person is subject to GDPR rules. The GDPR - General Data Protection Act module is intended for keeping the records required by GDPR.
Business — companies, sole traders, associations, political parties and similar.
Temporary partner — used in situations such as issuing an invoice to a customer whose name, address and similar data we do not need.

How to...

Entering a new partner

Partners

Brix keeps a shared register with basic data on a large number of businesses in the background, so a new partner is usually not entered manually but taken from that register. The procedure is the same in the Partners form and when entering a partner from a partner field on a document, e.g. {Customer} on an invoice.

First look for the partner by entering part of the OIB or keywords from the name; the order of entry does not matter. Brix searches the company's partners.
If the partner is not found, entry of a new partner is started with the icon — at the bottom of the partner list or next to the partner field on the document.
The [ Partner - Add ] dialog is shown with the {Find Entity} field, where the OIB (preferably) or part of the entity's name has to be entered again. Brix now searches the shared register and shows the list of entities it knows; the more data is entered, the shorter the list.
If Brix shows the matching entity, select it from the list and, if necessary, correct or complete the partner data brought in.
If Brix does not show the matching business in the list, the icon to the right of the {Find Entity} field opens the form for entering all partner data. First the partner type is marked: {Individual}, {Business} or {Temporary}.
- For a domestic business, enter the {OIB} first. On leaving that field, Brix tries to find the matching business in external sources (e.g. the Court Register) and, if it finds the data, shows it. Correct or complete the data shown.
- If Brix does not find data in external sources, all partner data has to be entered manually: select the {Country}, then enter the remaining data.
- For an individual and a temporary partner the data is always entered manually.
The data is saved with the SAVE button. This also enters the business into the shared register of businesses.

Brix has no shared register of individuals; each company enters and keeps its own records of individuals.

Rules for entering partners

Since all Brix users share the same basic data of businesses from the shared register, the following rules must be observed.

Limitations

Basic data of partners that are also Brix users cannot be edited through the [ Partners ] form. That data can be updated only through the Companies form, and access and editing are allowed only to administrators of the company concerned.

If a new business that has “inherited” the OIB of a former business needs to be entered, submit a support request stating the data of both the inactive and the new business.
