Account category or AX is a company-specific entity with primaryCompanyField set to DataAreaId and new_accountcategories of CRM is a cross-company entity that doesn’t have primary company field set. Please make sure the entities are both cross-company or company-specific entities.

Bonjour les amis.

Using dual write recently, we had cause to create custom entities on Both CE and FO.

While setting up the mapping , we got the error :

Account category or AX is a company-specific entity with primaryCompanyField set to DataAreaId and new_accountcategories of CRM is a cross-company entity that doesn’t have primary company field set. Please make sure the entities are both cross-company or company-specific entities.

This is simply because my custom table support cross company data sharing as stated in Microsoft documentation:

To resolve the error we can do the following:

1 . Go to Dataverse and add a new field (company) to our custom table.

2 . Add a new Key with Colum Company

and lastly

3 . Set the newly added field as an entity key on Dual write.

Voila!
