2645411 - Cannot create lead via webservice using existing account external ID

Web service payload for creating a Lead uses <AccountExternalID> field.

Response contains error message: "If you use an existing account or contact, an account must be specified"

• SAP Hybris Cloud for Customer Add-ins

Use the <AccountExternalID> in a SOAP web service to try and create a new lead.

The AccountExternalID field is only to be used with Avention Integration and is not available for other purposes.

The AccountInternalID field must be used when creating a Lead with an existing Account via web service.

Possible workaround:

Query the internal id of an account using QueryCustomerIn and pass the Internal ID in ManageMarketingLeadIn to create the Lead in C4C.
