Thank you to everyone for your passion, collaboration, and support. Here’s to building an even stronger community together in the year ahead!
Season’s greetings to you and yours! As we head into the holidays (December 24 – January 4), we want to take a moment to celebrate the incredible strength and collaboration within our community. Even during the break, you can continue to benefit from connecting with peers, searching related threads, posting your questions, and marking helpful replies as “Accepted” in the Support Community.
Please note our dedicated team will be on reduced coverage during this time, and regular responsiveness will resume on January 5. Wishing you a joyful and restful holiday season!

Customer ID vs. Customer Name
We offer a service to our customers very similar to the way a standard credit cards works, except for B2B customer. Including the issuance of a 16 digit numeric customer account number (e.g; 5717345689391234).
We would love to use this account number (generated by our production system) as the customer ID in netsuite. It seems to intuitively be the right way to do it. And we would use the customer name filed for their name (e.g; ACME Industries).
Problem is for the leads and prospects in NetSuite who aren't yet customers, we don't have a number yet. And we can't let NetSuite generate it in advance (via a script) because it has special CRC rules (the individual digits always add up to the same number), so our production system needs to generate it downstream.
