Contact Organisation Edit MLAF

The Contact organisation function allows definition and maintenance of those external organisations that are relevant in a Proposed Project context, from either a “partner” or “funder” perspective. Those organisations may also exist in the Accounts Receivable database as customer records and controls are available to check the customer database via a post-code check.
