#Person Account0 discussing

I'm looking at enabling person accounts in our org.   The documentation has several "be sure you know what you're doing" notations that I'm a little leery of just doing it.   Does anybody have any words of wisdom before I go down that path?

Using sdfx pull command to pull a PersonAccount Matching Rule from a scratch org is having some issues. The pulled file (Account.matchingRule) is almost empty. Please find the content of the file below. As you can notice, the file doesn't have any meta information about my custom matching rule that I created in my scratch org. Any ideas? Is this an SFDX bug?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

<MatchingRules xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata" />

    For anyone who comes here for a solution: To include PersonAccount Matching rule, you have to use PersonAccount.<MatchingRuleName>

    <types>

    <members>PersonAccount.Custom_Person_Account_Matching_Rule</members>

    <name>MatchingRule</name>

    </types>

    <types>

    <members>PersonAccount</members>

    <name>MatchingRules</name>

    </types>

Hello

I m trying to pass the FSC Superbadge. One of the assignments consists in creating a person account. I receive the following error while attempting to do it:

Review the errors on this page.

  • FinServ.AccountTrigger: execution of BeforeInsert caused by: FinServ.MoiExceptionWrapper.ValidationException: Your account record type is missing, a duplicate, or invalid. Ask your admin to check the individual record type configurations in Setup. (System Code)

I have reviewed articles like https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=000318117&type=1 or https://salesforce.stackexchange.com/questions/333360/person-account-error-your-account-record-type-is-missing-a-duplicate-or-inval

and checked the configuration, but everything seems to be ok. 

Would you have any ideas on what is wrong?

Thanks

    1. This error will be observed if:

    • The 'Household' record type has been deactivated on the Account object
    • The 'Individual' record type has been deactivated on the Account object
    • The 'Individual' record type has been deactivated on the Contact object

    To resolve the above issues you need to reactivate the record types and if needed consider removing access to the record types at the profile (or permission set) level instead of deactivating the record type.

     

    2. This error will also be observed if there is an Account record type with a Name (DeveloperName) that matches the Name (Developer Name) of a Person Account Record Type. make sure there isn't a custom record type on Account named PersonAccount.

     

    3.  Ensure Use Person Account is Enabled in Custom Settings.

    • Goto Setup 
    • Search "Custom Settings" in Quick Find, open it
    • Click Manage next to "Use Person Account"
    • once it opens click edit next to "Use Person Account"
    • ensure Enable is checked.

    4.  Ensure Correct Configuration of " Individual Record Type Mapper "

    •  Goto Setup 
    • Search "Custom Metadata Types" in Quick Find, open it
    • Click " Individual Record Type Mapper "
    • once it opens click "Manage Individual Record Type Mappers " next to Edit button
    • click Edit next to Person Account.
    • Be sure that it's listed as follows:
      • Label: Person Account
      • Individual Record Type Mapper Name: PersonAccount
      • Account Record Type: PersonAccount
    • Note the SPACE in the Label and the lack of space in the other two.

A user manually updated each Contact page address for every Opportunity who purchased between certain dates. He separated out the with the Mailing Street from the City, state, and ZIP.  Each part of the address was in its own field.

 

But, now all of these changes have reverted to  one field. The entire address has moved itself to the "Street Address" field. 

example:

 

Street address field:

123 Main St

Anytown, NY 12222

United States

 

How do I fix this?  Any feedback is appreciated!

 

Best,

Laura

We had a user merge Person Account records and then recover them from the recycle bin after realizing a mistake. After attempting to merge again, we are getting this error message:

FIELD_INTEGRITY_EXCEPTION, Document with ID: 0696g000009DeFf is already linked with the entity with ID: 0016g00001F6znB: [LinkedEntityId]

 

Any idea what this means and how to resolve the issue so we can merge?

    Hi Jennifer,

     

    Have you tried using debug log, to see what's causing the issue on the back-end of your org?

Business requirements for Account and Person Account in Salesforce

Accounts: are companies that you're doing business with, and contacts are the people who work for them.

Person Account: If you’re doing business with a single person, you use a special account type called a Person Account. like a solo contractor or an individual consumer,

Hi @Iman Maghroori ,

I need to be able to add a Related Record to a Case Lightning page layout with Person Account information vs the standard Account/Contact information.  Since Actions can't be added to the Person Account object, is there a special LWC or workaround to get this to work? 

If I create an action on the Account record, I can't access the Person Account specific fields.  

I can create formula fields on the Case and pull fields from the PA, but I can't update any of that information from the Case.

Hi guys!

 

My client is using salesforce platform and using Commerce Cloud for their retail online. They are a pure B2C business, this is, their customers are only individuals.

 

We are trying to set up Service Cloud as customer service app. My doubt is, is there any problem if we use only the "contact" entity to store the customer data? would it be possible to use the Commerce Cloud connector to only sync data with the "Contact" entity? And ignore completely the "Account" entity

 

In a few months we also would like to implement Marketing Cloud, so having " Customer = Contact = Subscriber " makes sense for me

 

I think that this solution fits better for this case than using Person Account

Hello everyone,

 

I have question related to Object sync between Marketing cloud and service cloud. Our Marketing environment has been already setup by partner. I can see two Object sync is in there in MC, Account and Contact. In our service cloud environment Person account has been enabled . So as Person account has been already setup and Sync is already working but why Contact Sync has been enabled. Please let me know, if anybody has idea about it.

    Synchronised data extensions come with metadata as well as records. Any object dependencies in crm are also required in MC. So person account comes with relationships to contact and account.

    Contact delete will be overwritten with the next sync, the only way to prevent rewriting is to introduce another process to delete from crm before contact delete in sfmc and / or apply a subscriber filter on the sync DE in contact builder.
