Cause

This issue arises when the node "AlternativeLabel" is missing or not populated in the message Payload.

The field "External ID" is populated from the node "AlternativeLabel" and not from the ID mapping entry.

Resolution

Make sure that you are sending the Node "AlternativeLabel" in the payload, which is populated with the external ID of the installation point.

If it is not in the payload, please check your mapping and adjust your ERP system to send this information.
