Standard v/s custom fields for tracking product information

Question

Hi Team,What could be the pros and cons if we tracked the product information in custom XDM fields instead of standard XDM fields for all commerce events. So instead of using this,{
  "productListItems": [
    {
      "SKU": "12345",
      "name": "dummy product",
      "priceTotal": 123.45,
      "quantity": 1
    }
  ]
}what if we used this,{
  "_tenatID": {
    "product": [
      {
        "SKU": "12345",
        "name": "dummy product",
        "priceTotal": 123.45,
        "quantity": 1
      }
    ]
  }
}What kind benefits we can get and what will be the drawbacks and limitations?

Hi @harveer_singhgi1

in general, using the standard fields makes sure that connected systems can for instance apply automatic mappings, since they know where to look to find product information.

If possible, I would stick with those, especially if you are using multiple Adobe products. Else, the overhead to "make things work" the way you want to can increase.
