Consider alternatives for documento_proveedor

[jpmckinney]

For errors like "No borrower identifier in documento_proveedor='No Definido'", is there another field that can be used?

I don't know the meaning of entidad vs proveedor (entidad seems to mean buyer, but later the borrower endpoint uses nit_entidad={documento_proveedor} and codigo_entidad={codigo_proveedor}, so I'm confused), but maybe some options:

• nit_entidad
• codigo_entidad
• codigo_proveedor

Yeap, everywhere else entidad means buyer, but that particular endpoint returns data from both, buyers and suppliers, and they use "nit_entidad" and "codigo_entidad" for both. So in that endpoint only, entidad means what in OCDS would be a party.

With that said, we could use codigo_proveedor. But this field is for the code that SECOP assigns to the supplier, not a legal identifier (as documento_proveedor is), and Credere and the FIs need a legal identifier. In one example I found from the logs: https://www.datos.gov.co/resource/jbjy-vk9h.json?$where=proceso_de_compra=%27CO1.BDOS.4833182%27 It seems that this is a consortium (es_grupo='Si'). So maybe we need to include es_grupo='No' in our main query (or include documento_proveedor is not 'No Definido' to avoid this issue)

Does Credere need a legal identifier, or can that be collected from the borrower as part of the application?

At the moment Credere uses the legal identifier to calculate the unique hash for the MSME and the application. If we change the ID source I guess we will need to change that as well, besides the changes for requesting the legal identifier as part of the MSME application. With that said, we can leave this issue as an improvement for the future. I can also check if this issue always happens with consortiums or if it also happens with regular suppliers. The consortium part is important because we know our current FI doesn't accept consortiums anyway (e.g they can only provide the credit to one member of the consortium, at most)
