This is useful for checking new customer activity, following up with new accounts, and confirming that customer setup was completed correctly. ## What are recent customers? Recent customers are customer companies that were recently registered or connected to a vendor company. The report shows a short list of the latest customers for the selected vendor company. ## Who can access recent customers? Recent customers are available to vendor users. A vendor can only view recent customers for their own vendor company. Vendors cannot view recent customers for another vendor company. ## What the report shows The recent customers report can include customer company information such as: | Field | Meaning | | ---------------- | ----------------------------------------------- | | Customer company | Name of the customer company | | Email | Customer account email or notification email | | Phone number | Customer phone number, if available | | Address | Customer address, if available | | Created at | Date when the customer company was created | | Updated at | Date when the customer company was last updated | The exact fields shown can depend on the user interface and customer company configuration. ## Number of customers shown The report is designed as a short dashboard-style overview. It can show the latest 10 customers for a vendor company. This report is intended for a quick overview, not for a full customer database export. ## Typical use cases Use recent customers to: * Check newly added customers * Confirm that a customer was created successfully * Follow up with new customer accounts * Review recent customer onboarding activity * Quickly access customer details after setup ## Accessing recent customers To access recent customers: 1. Go to **Vendors** 2. Open your vendor company 3. Go to **Reports** 4. Open **Recent Customers** Depending on the interface, recent customers may also appear on a vendor dashboard. ## How recent customers help vendors ### Faster follow-up Vendors can quickly see which customers were added recently and contact them if needed. ### Better onboarding control The report helps confirm that new customer accounts are available in the system. ### Easier customer review Instead of searching through all customers, vendors can start with the latest customer activity. ### Useful dashboard view Recent customers can be shown as a compact overview next to other vendor reports. ## Recent customers vs customer management Recent customers are a report. Customer management is where vendors add, edit, and review customer records in more detail. | Area | Purpose | | ------------------- | ---------------------------------- | | Recent Customers | Quick report of latest customers | | Customer Management | Full customer setup and management | Use recent customers for quick review. Use customer management when you need to change customer details, customer numbers, delivery locations, or relationships. ## Best practices ### Check recent customers after onboarding After adding or inviting customers, review the recent customers report to confirm that the customers appear correctly. ### Follow up with new customers Use the report to identify customers who may need setup help or onboarding support. ### Keep customer details clean Accurate customer names, email addresses, phone numbers, and addresses make the report more useful. ### Use customer details for deeper review If you need more information, open the customer details page from the customer management section. ## Common problems ### Customer does not appear Check that: * The customer was created or connected successfully * The customer belongs to the correct vendor company * You opened the correct vendor company * You are logged in as the correct vendor user ### Vendor cannot access the report Check that: * The user is logged in * The user has the vendor role * The vendor company belongs to the logged-in user ### Only a few customers are shown This is expected. The report is designed to show recent customers, not every customer. ## Related pages Create a new customer company. Connect an existing customer to your vendor company.
