Description

Detailed Description
The externalCode field data type in country/region-specific legal entity objects has been changed from Auto Number to Number. This change was made to support instance sync and configuration transport, as the legal entity objects have one-to-one composite associations with location objects. The framework now populates this field with a constant value of 1 as default.
Impact Assessment
The external code field is now editable and requires value input during data imports, allowing deletion and updates to new values. Existing MDF templates may be impacted by this data type change. For OData API calls, the external code can be empty or manually defined, with a default value of 1 auto-populated when empty. Organizations should verify compatibility of their existing import processes and templates.
