Create customer
Creates a customer with type, group and territory.
MCP tool erpnext_write → create_customer
write
Creates a Customer and returns its ID. ERPNext asks for the Customer Name, Customer Type, Customer Group and Territory on the form; pass the ones your site needs, and the call returns ERPNext's own error if a required one is missing. Address and contact are added in ERPNext under Address & Contact. It reaches no one and can be deleted again, so it does not ask for confirmation.
