Does anyone know when the altname field is present on an Entity (Vendor, Customer,etc)? Is it based on a feature?

Auto Name Customers in combination with Allow Override

@battk, can I check those programmatically?

i dont think you can get to auto numbering, though you can probably just create a customer and check which fields are available

Ya, ok. I think a function that does a lookupFields in a try/catch would do the same. We could cache the yes/no . Love hacking things together for NetSuite
