> Key: FINERACT-1760
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FINERACT-1760
> Project: Apache Fineract
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Mihaly Dallos
> Assignee: Adam Saghy
> Priority: Major
> Labels: PepperSoup
>
> h1. 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
> h2. 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)
> h3. *+Database+*
> External identifier field to be stored in the loan table
> {+}type{+}: String
> {+}indexing{+}: true
> h3. +Configuration+
> Enable to auto generate external id (if not provided).
> By default it should be disabled.
