The vector sum of all external forces operating on a system is known as the net external force. There may be multiple external forces acting on a body or a system but there will be only one net external force which is the result of all those external forces acting on that body or system.
The effect of the initial external forces on the motion of the body is replaced by the net external force, which is a single force. In accordance with Newton's second rule of motion, it causes the body to accelerate at a rate equal to the sum of all those actual external forces.
