Document attachment entities cross company

Hi!

In Finance and Operations there are some default out-of-the-box document attachment entities, for example for Customer (CustomerAttachmentsV2Entity). However, they are not programmed to support cross company attachments. Is there anyone who could think of why this functionality is not included? Is there a risk or problem by doing that?

Thanks and regards!

Thank you Sohaib, yes it is out of the box and it does not support cross company. I'm wondering why they may have done this. Was it not considered, or is there some drawback to allow cross company in a custom attachment entity?

Hi,

I have checked it.

This data entity has a value for property named PrimaryCompanyContext because of which it cannot operate cross-company

it is an out of the box entity

To be more specific, the OData request for the document returns a result, but the content of the file is empty because the file content is in another company.

Here is a typical attachment entity logic that fetch the file. The select statement needs to go cross company to return results from other companies.

/// <summary>
/// Entity used to Dual-Write document attachments for the <c>CustomerAttachmentsV2Entity</c> table.
/// </summary>
public class CustomerAttachmentsV2Entity extends common
{
/// <summary>
/// Populates virtual fields.
/// </summary>
public void postLoad()
{
super();

// Virtual fields are not auto-populated from the base entity, so an extra select is necessary.
if (this.RecId && this.DocumentId != emptyGuid())
{
DocuRefEntity baseEntity;
select firstonly baseEntity where baseEntity.DocumentId == this.DocumentId;
this.FileContents = baseEntity.FileContents;
this.fieldExternallySet(fieldNum(CustomerAttachmentsV2Entity, FileContents), false);
}
}

}

Hi

There is a field named LegalEntityId in this entity. Could you check it out of that works for you? As for the primary key is based on Document ID.
