# CorporateCustomer

object type

A CorporateCustomer — WHO the merchant SELLS TO on business terms: the shared B2B customer MASTER, the sell-side mirror of the Vendor supplier master. Group-parented + deliberately thin (caption = the trading name · legalName · taxId · code): contact data + buyers ride the Contact/ContactAssignment family (a CorporateCustomer is an assignment HOST — buyers are purchasing-buyer-role assignments); the org-specific commercial payload (terms · credit · price group · addresses) IS the OrgCustomer relationship (an active OrgCustomer = the B2B selling enablement — the OrgVendor mirror). SEARCHABLE (a customer book you can't search by name fails its purpose — the law). Doom is blocked by NON-doomed OrgCustomer selections and LIVE hosted ContactAssignments; open ORDERS naming the customer never block — order refs re-validate FRESH at place. NOT an identity class (buyer auth/portal is); the customer hierarchy (parent company) is a NAMED deferral.

## Fields
