Default Naming Sequence

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Pppp99 96

Hi everyone, 

Is it possible to change the default naming sequence (without changing the sequence of Global address book) when creating a customer? For example, one of our clients has different companies but for only one company, they want to have naming sequence as "LastSpaceFirst". The naming sequence of Global Address Book is FirstLast. 

Thank you

Best Regards, 

Pradeep

    Hi Pppp99.

    If you are using F&O, you need post the thread to following forum for further help:

    Thanks for the response.

    Seems like the screen you attached is D365 CE.

    Is it also possible to change default naming sequence for only one legal entity(the client has different entities) in D365 F&O?

    Best Regards,

    Pradeep

    Hi Pppp99,

    You can go to Settings  >> Administration >> System Settings >> General Tab >> Set the full name format, then you can select format you want.
