Re: Question on PlannedShipment Integration

Why don't you make the GID and Name fields the same? That way you have the same information in the GID and the Name, and you don't need to copy the Name to a refnum. If the domain name bothers you in the GID, just set it up in the public domain.

If you have a good business reason to have the GID and Name something else, you can build a lookup table in your middleware, or perhaps the receiving system is able to do a little magic.

Copying data to refnums works (and it is done a lot...), but it should be a last resort.
