Convert existing contacts to Individual (company) and contacts

edited Dec 13, 2019 11:42PM in General 1 comment

There are several existing contact records that were entered with no company tied to them.  There are limitations NetSuite has set for these records, including not tying activity-based records directly to these contact records.

Now that I understand the Individual company record feature better, I want to convert these "orphaned" contacts to Individual Companies, and also have a contact record for them (which there will be by default based on the general preferences set up to do so).  Is there a way to do this without losing any of the existing data that's in the system for these contacts? 

I know I can do an import, but I'm not sure how that would keep the existing data tied to the records.

Howdy, Stranger!
