Are you using ship to addresses?   Each ship to address can have a different salesperson than the customer master record.

Yes we use them but not for these imported orders.  These orders are from our website which we do not sync the information with.  So if someone wants to ship to a particular address or billed to a certain address, we let the addresses from the website control where it ships to.  I do not populate the H.SalepersonDivisionNo or H.SalespersonNo, .  It seems to pull that from Customer just fine, but after doing so some how changes it in Customer.  Still not sure why any of that would cause the salesperson field in customer to change.

That sounds like perform logic. Do you have any customization?

Yes.  Not sure what kind to list.

"It seems to pull that from Customer just fine, but after doing so some how changes it in Customer. "

Are you saying that it is changing the default salesperson  it in the customer master file?  If so,  I would agree with BL.

Yes, it is changing the default salesperson on the "Main" tab in Customer Maintenance after importing an order for that customer.  Like I said though the SO salesperson comes in the same as the customer was set to.  So then the next time you import an order for that customer the salesperson is changed.

You will need to have someone look at the perform logic attach to the VI job. From what you are saying that is not normal and sounds just like custom perform logic.

Not familiar with "perform logic".  There are some scripts that run in Customer Maintenance and Sales Order but should not be running during the import and none to my recollection deal with the salesperson.  

That is making me look more closely at what fields are being imported and I might try a few more.  I think I might try setting the H.BillToDivisionNo and maybe populate the H.SalespersonDivisionNo and H.SalespersonNo too.

The thing is the business framework works in mysterious ways sometimes. Whoever did all the script work needs to look at it and maybe put in a line that it only runs Customer Maintenance or Sales Order.
