What is the difference between an agent code like 46190 and a normal wholesale code?
Agents in the 461 group sell goods for someone else and earn a fee or commission. They never own the stock. Wholesalers under the other 46 codes buy in their own name and resell. If you broker deals between suppliers and buyers, pick an agent code. If the invoices and the stock run through your company, pick the product-specific wholesale code.
