? Company Install. Utilities->Sales->Install Collections. This utility creates tables and stored procedures on MS SQL Server side Setup

? Module. Here you set up the module itself: is it integrated with SOP or Invoicing, User Defined fields, etc

? Collectors. Here you associate Great Plains user with collector role
