Hi, I have a current requirement for the party field to have a first name and a last name. This is going to be especially useful when we send out email to customers. AFAIK in English and French speaking countries most people are addressed to using their first name.
A few software solutions I have seen around usually separate the name as 2 fields, but I suppose this probably depends if the business is dealing with people as customers or business as customers. I would be interested to hear whether other people have had similar requirements/use cases to have a first name and last name and what their solutions have been? I know that in Salesforce for example, there are 2 types of "Account" "objects" ( in Tryton this translates to Party models ): a "Person Account" and a "Business Account". The business account only has a name field, but the Person account has a "composite" name field made up of 2 fields ( first name and last name ). Also all the most popular web based accounting packages have first name and last name field. I am not saying that they are correct, but I curious to hear people's thoughts around this topic. Cheers,
