This feature allows to **transform an external entity** in any other type of entity supported by the application, allowing to quickly create customer, suppliers, unions, among others.

To transform an external entity, follow these steps:

1. Access **Marketing & Sales | Contacts and Opportunities | Resources | Tools | Transforms External Entities**;
2. Define the **Entity** to be transformed;
3. Specify the resulting **Type of Entity**;
4. Insert a new code for that entity;
5. Define the **Payment Condition, Payment Method** and **Receiving Method**;
6. Finally, click **Process**.

> [!WARNING]
> The external entity must be created on the target entity and be available on the system.
