# Create a customer
## Before you start
To make it easier to create customers, you can first create customer classes and select one as your default. This way the customers you create afterwards will already have some default information filled in. See [Create a customer class](/visma-net-erp/help/customer-ledger/customer-classes/create-a-customer-class/).
> [!NOTE]
> If you do not want to use the default customer class for the customer you are creating, you can select a different one on the **General settings** tab, in the section **Financial settings**. Visma Net immediately changes the related information.
1. Go to the [Customers (AR303000)](/visma-net-erp/help/customer-ledger/customer-ledger-windows/customers-ar303000/) window.
1. Click  to create a new customer, and enter the **Customer name**. The next available **customer number** is automatically added to the new customer when you save. The default **Status** for the new customer is **Active**.
The fields marked with \* are mandatory.
1. [Add general information for a customer](/visma-net-erp/help/customer-ledger/manage-customers/add-general-information-for-a-customer/) on the **General information** tab.
1. Add information on the **Invoicing settings** tab.
1. Add information on the **Delivery settings** tab.
