Auto-Numbering ignored? (Vendor->Customer)
Ok, simple situation: we have a vendor for whom an unusual business transaction occurred, and we need create a Sales Order & Invoice -- so we need a customer record for them. Note: we have auto-numbering turned on for customers, but not vendors.
So I went to the vendor record, edited it, went to the info tab, and added a customer relationship, and saved. The resulting customer record looks odd in that the customer ID is the name of the company duplicated, i.e. "ABC TOOLS Inc. ABC TOOLS Inc." This is in contrast to our usual customer records which are auto-numbered, i.e. I expected something like: C1234 ABC TOOLS, Inc.
