Hi VasilMichev ,

Thanks for the explanation.

Can you elaborate a bit more one when to use application object id and when to use service principal object id?

Thank You

A very easy explanation (that isn't 100% correct) is that you create a app registration for apps that you develop yourself.
Enterprise Applications are added when you add third party appliations.

As Vasil said, if you would provide us with more insights, we could provide a better answer
