{{Quickfixn}} How do I get Company ID (not name) for a trade/deal

[Grant Birchmeier]

So you've looked through all the fields of the raw FIX message and did not
see what you need?

In that case, this is a question for your counterparty.  If they are not
including this field in your message, then of course QF/n can't extract
it.  You'll need to ask your counterparty if there is a way to get them to
include this particular field.
