The Cross Reference Table option on the Element menu allows you to associate an element with a cross-reference table that converts source values to destination values.
Associating a cross-reference table with an element
Perform either of the following:
Highlight the element and choose Element>Cross Reference Table>New.
Right-click the element and choose Cross Reference Table>New from the drop-down list.
The New Cross Reference Table displays.
Enter the File Name (up to 8 characters), application field length, and a brief textual Description:
Select Create.
The Cross Reference Table Properties window displays.
The program automatically creates the entries for the cross reference table, populating the EDI Field Value with the EDI code values for this element and the Description with the description associated with each EDI code value. To complete the process:
Select Options>Fill Fields From>Description or Options>Fill Fields From>Description>EDI value.
ECMap populates the Cross Reference Value with either the description or the EDI value based on your choice.
For more information on creating, modifying and deleting cross reference tables, see Chapter 22, “Working with Cross-Reference Tables.”
