Filtering ISA, GS, ST, SE, GE and IEA Segments

Under the Mapping ISA,GS,ST,SE,GE and IEA segment should applied Filter Option

It has to applied in Outbound Transaction for X12 EDI TRX

Filtering UNB, UNH, UNT, UNZ Segments

Under the Mapping UNB, UNH, UNT, UNZ segment should applied Filter Option

It has to applied in Outbound Transaction for EDIFACT TRX

Filter Empty Element

1. Under the Mapping go to the Folder option

2. On left hand corner, can find the folder Icon

3. Then go the preferences

4. Check Filter Empty Elements

Whenever the File contains Empty elements or clients requirement that they donot want to print the empty elements.

Filter Unmapped Element

1. Under the Mapping go to the Folder option

2. On left hand corner, can find the folder Icon

3. Then go the preferences

4. Check Filter Unmapped Elements

Clients requirement that they donot want to print the Umapped Elements for the File.

Do not use Filter Empty Element/Filter Unmapped Element for inbound transaction

1. Under the Mapping go to the Folder option

2. On left hand corner, can find the folder Icon

3. Then go the preferences

4. Uncheck Filter Unmapped Elements and Filter Empty Element if checked

When the Filter Unmapped Elements and Filter Empty Element if checked ,transaction fails

NA

Use absolute Path in mapping rule if for each applied on root level

1. Go to mapping expression

2. Check for the mapping rule

When the 'For Each' loop is applied at the root level, verify that relative paths used in mapping expressions correctly process dynamic values

NA

Usage of Reference Maps

Create a Reference Map so that with the help of that we can create other Maps Easily.

1. It suggested to use Reference map so that that reference Map can be used Further for developing Other Maps.

2. Usage of Reference Maps: Streamline the design process of EDI maps by seamlessly integrating Reference Maps, facilitating a more efficient and straightforward approach to map creation.

NA

Reuse the Same Map

This is particularly useful for ensuring consistency, reducing redundancy, and simplifying maintenance efforts.

1. It is suggested that we can reuse the Same Map if the validations and the Layouts are same for different partners , In simple term we can say that we can re utilize the same Map again and again if needed.

2. Design EDI maps that can be reused across multiple trading partners and transactions to minimize redundancy and streamline maintenance.

NA

Check if the mapping is specified under the project.

1.Under the Mapping go to the update mapping details
2.Check the project

It has to applied in Outbound Transaction for EDI TRX
