Introduction

This allows, for example in France, to add to the TV products lines the information related to the customer that is going to be the owner of the TV, that is something required by law.
Preferences
The WEB POS Show BusinessPartner Birth Information preference changes the requirements when adding the contact information. With the preference enabled, when adding information to a product, the assigned business partner will have to have the birth date and birth place filled or they will be asked during the process.
Backend Configuration

Purpose of Use
When adding the contact information to a product, some of the required information is the purpose of use that the product will have.

Quotations
When a product is added to a Quotation is not mandatory to introduce the Contact Information, but is possible add this information manually from Contact Info button on EDIT panel.
If the Quotation is converted to a Sales Order and there are some lines without the Contact Information need it, then the dialog will be open and the entered information will be applied to all uncompleted lines.
Later button
There are some situations in which when introducing a line that requires contact info, the user doesn't want to instantly add the information, for example because the user wants to check if the available services for the line before introducing the info. In this case, the Later button can be used in the Item declaration popup.
Doing this, the line is added to the order but with a --Missing Contact Info label that warns the user that the information is missing.
The user can open the contact info popup as if the information was added, and can introduce it anytime. In this case, as the line has already been created, the Later button will be disabled.
When trying to pay a ticket (both for a single ticket or with multiple tickets), it is checked if there's any line with the contact information pending, and in that case a popup is shown telling that there's some line with the missing info.
RFID
If a product that requires contact info is introduced by RFID, it is automatically added to the order and set as --Missing Contact Info.
Packs and Combos
There can be the possibility to add one or more products that requires contact info at a time when introducing a pack or combo. In this case, the contact information will be required only once, and the same information will be applied to each product that requires it.
If the Later button is clicked, all lines that requires the information will be set as --Missing Contact Info.
