After using the Conversion Utility tool to convert an NPSP account model from One-to-One to Household, the consultant needs to manually select a Primary Contact for each Household Account. Here's the detailed process:
Run the Conversion Utility Tool:
Navigate to NPSP Settings.
Under the "Bulk Data Processes" section, find and run the Conversion Utility tool to convert One-to-One Accounts to Household Accounts.
Review Converted Records:
Once the Conversion Utility tool runs successfully, review the newly created Household Accounts.
Each Household Account should have the associated Contacts correctly linked.
Select a Primary Contact for Each Household:
Go to each new Household Account.
Manually select a Primary Contact from the list of related Contacts. This step is crucial as the Conversion Utility does not automatically set the Primary Contact.
The Primary Contact field is used in many NPSP features and reports, so ensuring it is correctly set is important.
By performing this manual action, you ensure that the data integrity and functionality within NPSP are maintained after the conversion.
