A missing customer_code is generated.

do_not_sell_share cannot be set here; it is read-only, set only through the admin UI or a DSAR request. on_account_limit cannot be set here either (naming it is 400 VALIDATION_FAILED); on-account sales are not built yet, though a response still carries the field.
