Purpose
Customer records bundle contact data, relationships and follow-up processes after lead qualification.
Where to find it
Open CRM → Customers; new data sets are created via New customer.

Viewing requires contacts.read, creating, editing and multiple actions require contacts.write.
Step by step
- Search for existing customers before the new plant.
- Open a hit or create a new record with at least one name field.
