I have come across many suffixes (in element names) in AX.

Some are obvious like _FK (for foreign key?), but there are many I don't get: _PSN (used a lot in PurchAgreementHeader Table), _RU, _IT, _ES, _MX, _JP, _LV, _PL (found in VendTable fields).

Is there somewhere I can learn more about this? Is it important? Because at the moment I am just ignoring them.

These are country-specific objects maintained by Microsoft. They use it to make clear, for example, that a certain table is used only for Mexico (suffixed with _MX).

I noticed the code is a copy from the parent table Country Region Code. I don't get why it is so important that it needs to be added to the name.
