Hi Prachi,
No. We need to create a field on contact which will appear for Person Account as well. Fields created on Contact appear on Account with extension __pc.
Thanks.

Hi Prachi,
No. We need to create a field on contact which will appear for Person Account as well. Fields created on Contact appear on Account with extension __pc. a Person Accounts is also considered a Contact in the salesforce back-end, therefore, person accounts have an Account Id and a Contact Id. Every custom field created in the Contact object is available for Person Accounts using the __pc. If you want a field for person account only create the field in the Contact object.

Hi,
The __pc stands for person contact and are custom fields in the Contact object.
This is how it works: a Person Accounts is also considered a Contact in the salesforce back-end, therefore, person accounts have an Account Id and a Contact Id. Every custom field created in the Contact object is available for Person Accounts using the __pc. If you want a field for person account only create the field in the Contact object.
Hope this helps.
