# Registration to Odoo Field Mapping

## Customer Type Mapping

### Portal Customer Types → Odoo Fields

| Portal Type | Description | Odoo `is_company` | Odoo `company_type` | Use Case |
|------------|-------------|-------------------|---------------------|----------|
| **wholesale** | Partners, ISPs, telecom companies who resell AFINET services | `true` (always) | `company` | Wholesale partners with clients |
| **business** | Companies, organizations, and individuals needing direct services | `true` if company_name provided, `false` otherwise | `company` or `person` | Direct customers (retail) - can be companies OR individuals |

### Business Type Logic

The **business** customer type is flexible and can represent both:

1. **Individual Customers** (is_company: false)
   - Person registering for personal/home internet
   - No company name provided
   - Example: "John Doe" registering for home internet

2. **Company Customers** (is_company: true)
   - Small/medium business registering for office internet
   - Company name provided
   - Example: "Small Business Ltd" registering for office connectivity

**Key Rule:** If a business customer provides a company name during registration, they are marked as `is_company: true` in Odoo. Otherwise, they are marked as `is_company: false`.
