Once an item fulfillment record is created, it is not possible to directly change the customer associated with it. The recommended approach is to delete the item fulfillment, update the sales order with the correct customer, and then create a new item fulfillment. However, this process can lead to issues with data integrity. For instance, changing the customer on a sales order can break the link to the cash sale, turning it into a standalone cash sale. This can result in the system taking stock twice (once for the fulfillment and once for the standalone sales order), and the system may attempt to bill the sales order again. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure that the cash sale is still linked to the sales order in the 'created from' field after changing the customer. If the link is broken, it may be necessary to refund the cash sale, delete the sale and fulfillment, and redo them with the correct customer. Please note that there is no way to relink a cash sale and sales order once they have been separated. As for changing the item name or display name based on the customer selected on the transaction, this would require the use of a custom field to hold the alternative name and a custom form to display that name on sales orders or invoices. This process may require scripting. In conclusion, while it is technically possible to change the customer name on a sales order and item fulfillment record, it is a complex process that can lead to complications and should be approached with caution.
