customer related with contacts

(3) ShareShare

Posted on by 857

Hi All,

I am developing a portal to handle Business Central–related tasks. In this portal, I am managing customers that already exist in Business Central.

As per my understanding, when a new customer is created in Business Central, a corresponding contact is also created automatically. However, I would like to confirm the process when multiple contacts (e.g., 3–4) are created manually against a single customer.

From the portal side, I am planning to create multiple contacts against customers, which will also be created in Business Central. For this purpose, I would like to understand where Business Central stores the relationship between customers and their linked contacts.

Any guidance on this would be appreciated.

Thanks.

    The behavior you mentioned can be controlled through the following settings.
    Dynamics 365 Business Central: Automatically create contacts when creating customers/vendors/bank accounts
     
    And they are linked by table 5054 "Contact Business Relation", you can take a look at this table.
     
    Thanks.
