# Affinities

This table defines affinity groups that maintain commissioning programs for a telecommunications provider and an outside organization. Once set up, the organization gets a percentage of total calls (usage) invoiced. The affinity group name is specified via a drop-down list on the New/Edit Customer Info **Additional Info** tab. If you create a custom invoice report, the affinity message can be displayed on the customer invoice. To set up and maintain the Affinities table:

- Under **Data Management** double-click **Affinities**. This displays the Affinities window.

The Affinities window contains the following information.

| Affinity ID (read only) | System-generated identifier that uniquely identifies the affinity group record. |
| --- | --- |
| Name | Affinity Group name specified via a drop-down list on the New/Edit Customer Info **Additional Info** tab in Customer Management. |
| Total To Date | Total amount of money earned by the affinity group. This field is not updated automatically by the system. It must be updated manually. |
| Bitmap File Name | Bitmap file name that specifies where to have a graphic print on a customer invoice. |
| % Contribution | Percentage a customer has contributed to an affinity group. Entries are displayed as percentages, for example, .15 is displayed as 15% and 95 is displayed as 95%. |
| Note | Personalized text message to the customer from the affinity group (up to 255 characters). This message can appear on customer invoices for this group if you create a customer invoice report that includes this field. The message must be updated manually. |

The shortcut menu for this table lets you add, edit and delete affinities. See [Working with Data Management Tables](/v1/docs/working-with-data-management-tables).
