# Customer Settings

Customer Settings are the foundation of your integration, defining how customer information is matched, created, and updated between HubSpot and Microsoft Business Central. Proper configuration ensures data consistency and prevents duplicates across both platforms.

In this section, you configure:

* Customer matching rules
* Default customer mappings
* Field mappings

***

## Customer Matching Rules

Customer matching rules determine how existing customers are identified before creating new ones.

### Why Customer Matching Rules Matter

* Prevent duplicate customers
* Ensure consistent data across systems
* Automatically create customers when no match is found
* Simplify customer management

<Steps>
  <Step>
    Select the **Company Matching Criteria**.

    Choose a HubSpot field (e.g. Company Name or CVR) and map it to the corresponding Business Central field.

  </Step>

  <Step>
    (Optional) Enable **Primary Contact Sync**.

    This allows contacts to be created as customers when no company exists.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Choose how to handle the **Customer Number**:

    * Let Business Central generate it
    * Use a number from HubSpot
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Field Mappings (Company & Contact)

Field mappings control how data is transferred between HubSpot and Business Central.

### Why Field Mappings Matter

* Ensure correct data syncing
* Reduce manual work
* Improve data quality

<Steps>
  <Step>
    Navigate to the **Company/Contact Field Mappings** section.
  </Step>

    Review existing mappings or click **Edit** to modify them.
