Vantage 8.03.405a - order from web

This is just brainstorming:

Hide the CUstID field and develop it through code. Possibilities can
be:
- concatenate initials of customer and zipcode
- concatenate initials of customer and "-01"

It does not really matter because after the part is shipped then delete
the custID through a BPM.

This is just a top level look at the issue. Maybe someone else can give
details of how to do it.

Subject: [Vantage] Vantage 8.03.405a - order from web





Who has created or knows of a solution to have one time customers enter
an order through a web page. We purchased "Customer Connect" but that
turned out to be a B-to-B solution where the customer/business partner
is created prior to any orders.

We have the general public who does not want to register an account, but
simply wants to place a credit card order on our website.

I know Vantage needs the customer created first so thought we could use
SC workflows (we already own) to create the customer at the moment and
then create an order through web services code. Is this a good approach?
Has anyone done this that could point me in the right direction?

regards,
