Magento associate customer with order after an order is placed

My custom module observes the sales_order_place_after event, and creates a customer and associates the customer with the order by setting customerId for the order.

What works?

• Order is placed
• Customer is created
• The customerId is updated in the order database

What doesn't work?

• The customerId is instantly set back to NULL by another script

How can I find out what script updates the customerId to NULL again, after my observer is done running?

You should change event to sales_model_service_quote_submit_success

Example Code (Magento 2 Version): events.xml

<event name="sales_model_service_quote_submit_success">         <observer name="quote_submit_success_observer" instance="Namespace\ModuleName\Observer\GenerateObserver" />     </event> 

GenerateObserver.php

 ...  public function execute(\Magento\Framework\Event\Observer $observer)  {     /** @var \Magento\Sales\Model\Order $order */         $order = $observer->getEvent()->getData('order');      // Ensure customer is registered     $this->registerCustomer($order);     $order->getResource()->save($order);  }  protected function registerCustomer(     \Magento\Sales\Api\Data\OrderInterface $order ) {     /** @var \Magento\Sales\Model\Order $order */      if ($order->getCustomerId() === null) {         // Load customer by email, create if not exists.         try {             $customerData = $this->customerRepository->get($order->getCustomerEmail());         } catch (\Magento\Framework\Exception\NoSuchEntityException $e) {             $customerData = $this->orderCustomerManager->create($order->getId());         }          $order->setCustomerId($customerData->getId());     }      return $this; }  ...
