In migration guide to v201705 is recommended to use AccountDescriptiveName instead of PrimaryCompanyName. But AccountDescriptiveName doesn't return the same information as PrimaryCompanyName, it returns the same information as CustomerDescriptiveName.
How do we get information like PrimaryCompanyName in v201705?
We use PrimaryCompanyName to understand what cost is for what legal entity. This information is critical to us.

Hi Alexander, 

The PrimaryCompanyName field referred to the companyName field of Customer, which was removed in v201702. This field only contained outdated data and was read-only. For a descriptive identifier of an account, you need to use Customer.descriptiveName in CustomerService or AccountDescriptiveName and CustomerDescriptiveName fields in AdWords API reports instead.
