Contact Name Duplication Exception
Hi Friends,
While creating a contact record through suitescript i am getting an exception with the following details:
[COLOR="SlateGray"]
Code: CONTACT_ALREADY_EXISTS
Details: A contact record with this name already exists. Every contact record must have a unique name.[/COLOR]
This is bit inconsistent in behavior and is not reproducible during normal testing. Even after searching for the record i was not able to locate any record with the same First Name and Last Name values.
While going through the help i got to know that this exception will be generated only if we are creating contact record with same first name and last name details for a customer.
