To give you a quick answer, others feel free to correct...

The externalId is so that you can have some integration with outside
applications.  For instance if you were using Quickbooks you may wish
to put your Quickbooks generated Sales Order Id in that field.  This
field generally shouldn't be used by OFBiz except to allow integration.

Chris - I believe that is a fair assessment.  There are a few entities that
have that field and are never referenced in code.
