Sam Birney commented on MIFOS-2797:
-----------------------------------
Kay, this is an enhancement. It adds a method to the API for looking up
account references by account ID. There is no user-visible change in the UI.
However, it enables programs that use the API, such as bank import plugins, to
work via account id. There are two main use cases for wanting bank import
plugins to do that:
1. It turns out to be difficult to change the legacy integration with Audi Bank
to use the 15 digit Mifos global_account_num from their current 7 digit IDs.
So, if we use the Mifos account_id instead in that plugin, we can keep the Audi
fixed-width field to 7 digits.
2. Other banks will type in each customer's account id to their external
applications when they make a repayment, then these ids will eventually get
imported to Mifos via a spreadsheet. So, we think it will be less error-prone
if they type in the much shorter account_id instead of the 15 digit
global_account_num.
