# Description
## Introduction
Transactions may change due to correction. Correction can be done by
reverting a transaction. This can lead to removing and adding transactions back
to an account. It results new ID distribution from the transaction sequence.
External systems may not want to follow up on these changes but rather access
transactions as they are at their end state. In order to be able to direct
client immediately to the right record an additional identifier is to be used.
Supporting externalId is a long time wanted functionality with two major
benefits:
- Not an auto incremented number (privacy, harder to guess)
- Not represent any internal state
## Requirements
🟩 Supporting external id for identifying and fetching some if the entities
in Fineract
🟩 API enhancement to support targeting by external id
✅ External id can be provided in API request
🟩 Extend API response with external id
🟩 Support external id auto generation (configurable)
**External identifier**
- Must be unique
- Immutable
- Customer (Caller) provided
- Ability to generate automatically (configurable)
**Database**
External identifier field to be stored in the loan table
_type_: String
_indexing_: true
## Configuration
Enable to auto generate external id (if not provided).
By default it should be disabled.
_**This configuration already exists!**_
## Goal
This story is focusing to introduce external ids for savings accounts and
transactions!
