What is the difference, between Company Name and Organization?

playing a bit with frappe CRM today and got a little confused about what the difference is between Company Name and Organization


While company name can be used inside contacts, deals and leads work with organizations.

Company Name is commonly used for individual contacts to show their employer or associated company, whereas Organization is used more broadly to manage business relationships and sales processes. Company Name appears as a field in contact records, while Organization is a specific record type in the CRM module used to track deals and leads.

So if you have a contact who works for an organisation. And the organization you have in the CRM. How to show the relationship?

The company name in the contact field should ideally be the organisation of the lead which is not the case right now. Thanks for reporting it. We’ve created an issue for this, you can track it here: Replace company name with organisation field in Contact · Issue #292 · frappe/crm · GitHub
