### Deprecation warning
### Usage warning

The Business Partner Number Policy is not recommended for production use because it is severely limited in terms of
scalability and maintainability. Everytime a new participant onboards onto or off-boards from the dataspace, every
existing participant would have to either enter new contract definitions, effectively duplicating them, or update *all
existing policies*. That would be a significant maintenance and migration effort.
The Business Partner Number Policy is _not_ recommended for production use because it is severely limited in terms of
scalability and maintainability. Everytime a new participant shall be added to a contract definition the data provider would need to create new contract definitions, effectively duplicating them. This is because policies can't be changed after a contract that contains the policy has been negotiated with the first partner. That would be a significant maintenance and migration effort.

For that reason, the Business Partner Number Policy is marked as deprecated, and is scheduled for removal in EDC 0.6.x.
Please consider upgrading your environment at your earliest convenience.
> **_NOTE:_** The Business Partner Number Policy was marked for deprecation but will be kept as it is convenient to use for simple use-cases and testing.
