Description

In intercompany setups, customers often need to map multiple external Modes of Delivery (MODs) from the buying legal entity to a single internal MOD in the selling legal entity. This is especially relevant for retail operations where franchise stores use various MODs, but fulfilment is centralised through one legal entity.

Currently, the system enforces uniqueness per external code combination in the ExtCodeValueTable. This prevents multiple external MODs from being mapped to the same internal MOD, resulting in the error:

• Cannot create a record in External code value (ExtCodeValueTable). Code: 10, Hentes. The record already exists.

The issue was raised to to the Product Group team in issue 1070641 

Idea

We’d like to suggest making it possible to map multiple external Modes of Delivery (MODs) to one internal MOD in intercompany setups. Right now, the system only allows one-to-one mapping, which causes issues when trying to simplify delivery processes across legal entities.

This change would help customers who need more flexibility, especially in retail, and would make intercompany setups easier to manage without needing workarounds.
