Customer Lookup is the feature that finds a customer match when using Import or any feature that uses mappings like:
Alternate Item Code Import

Order Import

Customer Lookup finds a customer match like this:
if the entry is blank it does nothing
if the entry contains an at symbol (@) it looks at Email Addresses:
+ for Customers
+ for Contacts (multiple buyers or online accounts per customer)
exact match for Customer Code
exact match for Customer Listing
use Default Customer
For some customizations it looks at Ship ID (multiple Ship-To's per buyer).
