custom service dataArea

Hi,

1. When creating custom services, do we need to put legalEntity as an input to the service (contract class)? then use changeCompany()?

2. Because when calling the custom service via C#, i know that DataAreaId can be specified by callContext and without even adding legal entity as an input to the service or using change company(). What is call context here and how does it specify the dataAreaId in the background? 
CallContext callContext = new CallContext { Company = "USMF" };
sessionInfo = ((ABCService)channel).getDetails(new getDetails(callContext,request1));

3. But if i will call the custom service via postman as json, then how i'm going to specify the legal entity without having the dataArea as an input and without using changeCompany function?
 
4. In conclusion, is it needed? if yes then when and why?

    What you actually mean by saying "when calling the custom service via C#" is that you're using the SOAP endpoint. Which language you use (if any at all) is irrelevant and you also can use the JSON-based endpoint from C#, but there is no CallContext in such a case. As far as I know, you need to add the company to the contract if you're using the JSON-based endpoint.

    Hi,
     
    It depends on your case, in general the legal entity is determined based on the user that is used on the integration, but if you want to add the data to another legal entity then you should add dataarea Id as parameter in the contract class.

    Also check the following link it maybe helps you:
