Client Use Case :
Vendor Case Identification Behavior
Background / Relevant Business Context:
Our concern is related to a functional difference in how CRM handles customers vs. vendors.
Here's what's happening:
1. Customer Case Identification Behavior:
When a case is created (e.g., via email or manually), NetSuite tries to match the incoming email to a Customer or Customer Contact. This is possible because:
• NetSuite automatically checks both the email address of the customer record and the email addresses of related contacts listed under the Relationships > Contacts subtab.
• This behavior ensures that support cases can be linked to customers even when they come from secondary or associated contacts.
2. Vendor Case Identification Behavior:
In contrast, for Vendors, NetSuite:
• Only checks the primary email address on the vendor record itself.
◦ Does not search the vendor’s contact list (also under Relationships > Contacts subtab) for a matching email when associating a case.
Ideally, the behaviour of Vendors would be the same as the behaviour with customers.
You through some light on this
Is there a config ?
