Account Ownership
Each Account in Salesforce must have one and only one “Account Owner”. This rule is in place differently depending if the account is a customer or a prospect:
For prospects, Account Owner is the creator, the sales rep who created the prospect in Salesforce
For existing SAP customers, Account Owner is “SAP User”, a generic name meaning the account is controlled by SAP.
