Additional Info & Comments

• In Salesforce.com, Customers are referred to as Accounts, while SAP mostly uses the word Customer. The two terms can be used as synonyms, but in the Data Ocean we generally prefer the term Customer.
• There are different types of customers. One key distinction is sold-to vs. ship-to customers. The sold-to customer is the entity that is negotiating the price and placing the order (e.g. a corporate headquarters), while the ship-to partner is the one that is physically receiving the goods (e.g. a warehouse or production site). It is possible for customers to be sold-to and ship-to customer at the same time, or for customers to be the sold-to on one order but the ship-to on another.
