Can a Dynamics 365 Sales Account create a BC Company Contact instead of a BC Customer?

Dynamics 365 Sales Account → Business Central Company Contact instead of Customer

I would like to configure the integration between Dynamics 365 Sales and Business Central as follows:

  • When a new Account is created in Dynamics 365 Sales, I do not want it to automatically create a Customer in Business Central.
  • Instead, I would like it to create a Contact of type Company in Business Central, without any Customer linked to it.
  • The company would remain a prospect at this stage.
  • Later, when the prospect actually becomes a customer, I would use the standard Create as Customer function in Business Central to create the Customer from the Company Contact.
  • At that point, I would like the newly created BC Customer to be coupled to the same existing Account in Dynamics 365 Sales, without creating a second Account and without losing the existing CRM activities/history.

So the intended flow is:

Sales Account → BC Company Contact → BC Customer

while keeping one single Account in Dynamics 365 Sales throughout the entire process.

Is this scenario possible in Business Central 28 using only Integration Table Mappings / Integration Field Mappings, without AL customization?

In particular, can the same Dataverse Account first be coupled to a BC Company Contact and later also be coupled to the BC Customer created from that Contact, without causing conflicts with the standard Customer–Account integration mapping?
