jeffstuit importing assets: "Cannot parent an asset to an unparented contact"
I'm using the asset object to store information on the purchase of our company's book & video products. Using the sforce data loader, I successfully imported data to the assett object yesterday, with the exeption of a particular group of records: assets that are linked to contact records that are not also linked to account records. For these records, the data loader returned the error:
"Cannot parent an asset to an unparented contact"
We sell a lot of products to individuals (i.e. contacts) that are not necessarily linked to an account. Is there any way I can get around this requirement, and store asset data for these customers?

Why not create a virtual account Individual or many by region if it makes sense for your business and attach the contacts on this or these account(s)
