From the transaction Mapping window, you can perform the following actions on segments:
Insert a selected segment into the transaction that is being mapped; delete a segment from the transaction; create a simple copy of a segment in the transaction; create a copy of a segment in the transaction that includes all associated mapping, or find a segment.
Ignore (not map) only the unmapped elements in the current segment or every unmapped element in the transaction.
Perform conditional mapping on segments or make them trading partner-specific.
View the segment detail.
Assign levels to segments. (Levels are discussed in the Map Flow chapter.)
Enter informational notes for a specific segment.
From the transaction Mapping window, you can perform the following mapping-related actions on elements:
Create a simple copy of an element in a segment; create a copy of an element in a segment, including all associated mapping, cross-reference tables, and rules; delete an element from a segment; or find an element.
Map an EDI element to a field in a record or to a memory variable. You can also add a new memory variable or modify or delete a memory variable.
Ignore (not map) or unmap an element in the current segment.
Create or remove an association between a cross-reference table and an element. You can also add a new cross-reference table, modify a cross-reference table, or select a table.
Attach a rule to an element or remove a rule from an element. You can specify that a rule be performed before or after the element is mapped.
Perform conditional mapping on elements or make them trading partner-specific.
Enter informational notes for a specific element.
Update the mapping for all elements to include any changes that have been made to a record field or memory variable to which the element is mapped.
Simultaneously map an EDI element to a field, while creating the field based on the element.
Copy mapping instructions from one element to another.
Add codes to an element or view the codes associated with an element.
Perform any of the following options on an element:
Zero-fill the data in the element.
Make the element mandatory.
Truncate the data in the element.
Justify the data in the element.
“Save and paste” data into the element.
From the transaction Mapping window, you can perform the following mapping-related actions on application data:
Add a new record, or modify or delete a record.
Add a new field, or modify or delete a field.
