Discussion: Adding "externalId" in Product entity?

[Ashish Vijaywargiya-5]

Hello,

I am thinking to add "externalId" field in Product entity to handle the
product_id coming from external system.
This will be similar to the "externalId" for Order and Party entities.

We have requirement in which we receive ProductId from external system.
So adding this field will help us to overcome from any error like
"Duplicate Primary Key".

Please let me know your thoughts on this.
Thanks!

Usually the "GoodIdentification" entity is used for this.
