Remove Company requirement from Leads

Udgivelsesdato: Oct 30, 2026
Beskrivelse

Some Salesforce users want to remove the Company field requirement on Leads. This is only possible if Person Accounts have been enabled for the org.

Notes:

  • Person Accounts may only be enabled for Professional Edition, Enterprise Edition, Unlimited Edition, and Developer Edition.
  • When converted, a Lead without a Company creates a Person Account. The Name field of the Lead is mapped to the Person Account's Name field.
  • It is not possible to remove the Lead Company field requirement for Group Edition.
  • Leads created with a value in the Company field are considered business accounts. A Lead without a value in the Company field creates a Person Account if Person Accounts have been enabled for the org.
