What is the difference between cds prefixed entities and non CDS entities in F & O

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Mythe 77

There are certain entities in Dynamics F & O ->DataEntities that are prefixed with cds , how are they different from non prefixed entities.

There is CDS sales order headers and  Sales order headers V2 .

Sales order headers V2 Entity the target entity is SalesOrderHeaderV2Entity

CDS sales order headers the target entity is SalesOrderHeaderCDSEntity

Do these two entities get/set data to the underlying table.

If a dual write needs to be setup in from dataverse for table , which one of the entities should be mapped to?

I have the same question (0)

    Hello Mythe,

    Once you setup dual write and apply solution, you will see out of box entity mapping. Here is one example:

    Hi Mythe,

    There are data model differences between tables in Dataverse/CE and the FinOps database. The cds prefixed entities takes care of the differences and mapping. The non cds entities do expose all fields to be able to use all fields regardless transformations.
