Definition
In general ERP practice
Customer master data is the reusable information identifying customers, billing and delivery addresses, payment terms and relevant commercial settings. It supports consistent transactions across departments.
In Odoo
Odoo customer contacts are reused by sales, invoicing and related operations. Invoice and delivery addresses may differ; fiscal positions and payment terms affect downstream documents without turning each new order into a separate customer.
