    Default Convert lead to account not contact

    Hi, is it possible to convert a lead to an account and not a contact? Basically it would be better for us and cleaner to have our customers as an account rather then a contact. is it possible to do this and if so are the changes going to be upgrade safe/smart to do?
    thanks

    If you want to skip create Contact you need to customize custom/modules/Leads/views/view.convertlead.php and custom/modules/Leads/metadata/convertdefs.php
