# Set entity mapping

> Sets one entity mapping on an active general-ledger connection.

Use the `external_id` from [List external entities](/docs/api-reference/integrations/gl-mapping/list-external-legal-entities) for this connection. The Entendre legal entity must belong to your organization. Sending the same value again reuses the mapping.
