Contacts
Contact master data contains all the essential information about your business contacts in the WMS system. This includes standard Business Central contact information plus WMS-specific fields for warehouse operations.

Standard Contact Setup
For the standard contact setup process, including creating contact cards, managing business relations, and synchronizing with customers and vendors, refer to the official Microsoft documentation:
Create contacts - Complete guide to contact setup in Business Central
WMS-Specific Fields
In addition to standard Business Central contact fields, the WMS module includes several warehouse-specific fields. The following are the most important WMS fields that you should be aware of:
Communication
- E-Mail Invoice - Email address for sending invoices to this contact
Numbering
- No. 2 - Alternative contact number for external systems
Change Log
When a Record Change Setup exists for the Contact table, 3PL Dynamics logs the changes to the monitored contact fields. You can view these changes directly from the contact pages:
- Contact Card - the Change Log field shows the number of logged changes for this contact. Click the number, or use the Change Log action in the ribbon, to open the Record Changes list for this contact.
- Contact List - select a contact and use the Change Log action to open the Record Changes list for the selected contact.
See Change Log on Master Data Pages for the same option on customers, vendors and addresses, and View Record Changes for what the list shows.
