You can use an automatic action for this requirement. Just create one at Settings/Technical/Automation/Automated Actions. Give it a name, the correct model you want to run it on and ofcourse set "When to run" to "On Creation".

On the second tab add a new server action. Following a simple code snippet for the server action (it's for sale.order and you need an ir.config_parameter with the given external id):

object.write({'client_order_ref': 'YourRef'})
if 'A' in object.partner_id.name:
    object.write({'note': 'AAAAAAAAAA'})
else:
    object.write({'note': env.ref('mymodule.mycool_ir_config_parameter').value})

The example is written for Odoo V8+.
