Background

The LegalEntity structure does not allow specify the identifier type, unlike PartyIdentifier, making it impossible to distinguish the type of ID being expressed.

For reporting or similar applications, this forces the logic to infer the type from the metadata scheme, adding unnecessary complexity.

Proposal

Since DRR implements filters that rely on the legal entity identification type, we propose to implement a short-term solution that guarantees backward compatibility:

• Extend the PartyIdentifierTypeEnum to also include legal entity Id types: RED and CountryCode

Under the LegalEntity type:

• Add a deprecated tag to entityId
• Add EntityIdentifier as an attribute of LegalEntity

Compatibility

This proposal is backward compatible.

Release

CDM 5x Prod and 6x Prod

Additional Context

This issue it's a sub-issue of Entity Identifier Type #3319 and it's aligned with the Party and Legal Entity refactor.
