What is the difference between certain fields of entities in the Common Data Model (CDM) for sales?

Question

While studying the CDM models for sales and mapping my data to different fields, I was confused about what is the difference between some fields like totalDiscountAmount and discountAmount in Order entity and between ownerId and owningUser. Can someone please clarify?

Answer 1

You can find all these details in documentation.

discountamount: Type the discount amount for the order if the customer is eligible for special savings.

totaldiscountamount: Shows the total discount amount, based on the discount price and rate entered on the order.

ownerid is of principal type, which can hold the value of either team or systemuser internally in owningteam or owninguser respectively - useful in security concepts across the CDS product. Read more
