# 2025-11-07: CE - Custom Entities References

## Overview

This enhancement provides developers and system administrators with greater flexibility and control through the introduction of Custom Entity Management. Organizations can now define, extend, and interconnect entities to match unique business scenarios — such as for example contracts and products data - without relying on custom development. By enabling configurable entity definitions and relationships, the system becomes more adaptable, scalable, and aligned with complex enterprise requirements.

| **Entity reference**     | Establish clear reference between custom entities using reference types like CART, CATEGORY, CUSTOMER, CUSTOMER\_SEGMENTS, LEGAL\_ENTITY, MEDIA, ORDER, PRICE\_LIST, PRODUCT, and any CUSTOM\_ENTITY - such as one-to-one or one-to-many relationships. This ensures consistent data flow and accurate system behavior across modules. |
| **Document Attachments** | Attach supporting documents, like specifications or contracts, directly to custom entities. This centralizes information, improves traceability, and streamlines collaboration.                                                                                                                                                        |
