Dear
I noticed from experience that there are names that can't be given to a legal entity code Id
Names like GL . I named a legal entity GL and when generating the number sequence i found some number sequences didn't get populated
Is this documented somewhere or am i mistaken
Can i name a legal after a country code like usa or uae or ksa or will this cause me problems later

Never seen GL being an issue you should try deleting and creating again, though normally companies are setup with 3 digit alphanumber characters e.g. GV1. Also stay away from using special characters like & -
Legal entity names should not cause any trouble, they are sitting in their own table/field. You should stick to alphanumeric values with 3 letters, no special characters and you should be fine. Following Ludwig's suggestion it could be GL1 then.
If that is not the case, it could be considered as a bug and you might want to raise a ticket with Microsoft, if the issue you have mentioned above is reproducible in a Standard AX application like a Demo VM.
Hi Silvano,
Most companies I work with make use of numbers to differentiate between their legal entities.
Have you considered this option to avoid those naming convention issues that you mentioned?
Best regards,
Ludwig
