Customer credit limits

To set a credit limit, open the customer record, go to the Credit Limit tab and enter the maximum outstanding balance you allow. When creating an invoice that would exceed this limit Fateh will show a warning.

For ZATCA Phase 2 compliance, every B2B invoice requires the customer's VAT number. Make sure you collect and store this when onboarding new customers.
