Products

Issue/Introduction

When creating a new object, there are 4  additional columns created, odf_entity_code, odf_period_type, odf_period_start and odf_period_finish. 

Ideally, we do want to use them. How can they be used ?

Environment

Release : 16.1.1

Resolution

The ODF_ENTITY_CODE is filled when this object is associated with an OBS. After association, when user selects the OBS entry while creating the custom object instance this is populated. This is on the assumption that the OBS is associated to an entity.

Also, these are not for external consumption/reporting. So, your own attributes should be created rather than using those.
