In QuickBooks, the customer name field is the basically the unique identifier for the customer. Therefore, Camelot can add a unique customer number to the end of the name, so that customer name is assured of being unique when it goes to QuickBooks. This is an option on the QuickBooks tab of the Misc/Setup > Company/Misc Info screen in Camelot.
For this reason, if you choose this option, and when you began using Camelot you imported your customer list from QuickBooks into Camelot, then when as your export newly created invoices for those customers, you will notice that the customer will now be in QuickBooks twice - once from their original entry, and once for where they have been imported from Camelot and have the number in parentheses and the end of their name. This is unavoidable. But, keep in mind that from now on, when you export from Camelot and import into QuickBooks, it will put the new invoices with the new customer - the old one (without the number) can either be left alone, or merged with the new one.
