There is no uniqueness constraint in DHIS1.4 on the OrgUnitCode field.
therefore, the uniqueness constraint in DHIS 2 should be relaxed, to
allow data from 1.4 to be imported. A data integrity rule could then be
added to DHIS2 to inform the user that there are duplicate codes. Since
the "code" field is not currently being used for anything specific in
DHIS2, it would be better to allow the user to resolve duplicate codes
if this is an issue.

Status in DHIS 2 - District Health Information Software: New

Bug description:
In some installations, the OrgUnitCode field is used to store official in-country codes assigned to health facilities, and districts. In order to import data such as census data, the code is often consistent between government agencies, but the name of the organisation unit is not. Currently DHI2 does not import the OrgUnitCode field. I would suggest that this be imported into the "code" field during a file import.
