Is it possible to have two different Numbering Sequences to for Vendors based on the Vendor Class? For context, standard vendors have the auto-Number Sequence of V###### and our Customer vendors have alpha-numeric coding based on another internal system. We’ve historically just created the Customer with a manual Numbering Sequence then extended them to a vendor, then used an generic import to get the payment method on the Vendor.
We’re trying to integrate the two systems so that when a customer is created in our internal system with the elected payment method then a new Customer Class vendor will be created with the payment information then a workflow will extend it to a Customer. Our hiccup is when we ran the code to create the vendor it gets created as the V##### naming convention.
Our other potential solutions are:
- Create the Customer ID then the workflow to extend it to a vendor
- we lost the payment method on the Customer object when we tried this
- Change Vendor Numbering Sequence to Manual
- probably the easiest solution, but I want to check if there’s an automated solution for both sides before accepting this solution
Any help or other ideas is greatly appreciated!
