Customers, subcontractors and suppliers are currently listed in a common number range. The customer number has its correct name as a “customer number”, while subcontractors run under “supplier number”.

The problem: a clear and concise separation is not possible, as these are different groups, but they are grouped together in the same number range.

This leads to confusion - because the number alone does not make it possible to identify whether it is a customer, a subcontractor or a supplier. A separate logic or structure for each group cannot be established in this way.

Our suggestion: A numeric separation of the three groups — customers, subcontractors and suppliers — would make sense and would ensure greater transparency.
