Refer to the documentation:

technet.microsoft.com/.../aa590734(v=ax.50).aspx

ax.help.dynamics.com/.../external-codes-page-field-descriptions

"Select this option if the external code is an officially standardized code."

I.e. it complies with ISO, TÜV or any other standards.

I belive it is an indicative field only for audit purposes, however, you can easily verify that with cross-references in the AOT to see whether it is used in any code.

HI suresh,

You can use this form to set up, define, and maintain external codes for different fields that are used to send and receive documents electronically through Application Integration Framework (AIF).

Hi Vilmos Kintera,

Thanks for quick reply, In the above links, explaining about all the configuring options but i want to know where it will effect if i select this. i have two doubts here.

1. why we need to select the standard code check box.

2. why we need to assign value to the external code.

Thanks

I already explained it, the field is just for your own sake, or for audit purposes.

Thanks Vilmos,

But where exactly it will use for audit purpose. how can we identify this in audit. But based on some Google information i came to know about this one,

dynamicsuser.net/.../ax-09---mode-of-delivery-external-codes

Thanks for your time.

Thanks

Thanks for your help with this link https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa590734%28v=ax.50%29.aspx Can you tell some thing about this value?

What value we need enter here, can't we do inter company purchase and sales and both vendor and customer companies should have same value?

Thanks

Suppose you are selling books, and an auditor comes from a publisher to evaluate that you comply with their standards. Now he asks for a list of books recognized by international standards, which is an ISBN code for a book and you can store that on the product's External codes as a value. You can hand the auditor the list of products (books) you are trading with, and their respective ISBN numbers from the External codes. It is essentially just an extension of fields that you can set up yourself. Imagine similar situation with your Vendor external codes, where you can record extra information which complies with specific standards, that inspectors could validate. Also it can be used in some cases for intercompany as you have found out as well.
