Map Name – type a name for the map. It should have a maximum of 60 characters.
Map Type – select EDIFACT from the drop-down list.
Message – type the name of the EDIFACT-specific identifier for the EDI message you are mapping.
Direction – select the direction for EDI data from the drop-down list. The choices are:
- IN indicates that EDI data is the source (input) for the map transformation
- OUT indicates that EDI data is the result (output) of the map transformation
Version – select the EDIFACT version used for the current map from the drop-down list.
Century Minimum – type the year you want to use as global century minimum for this map.

When converting 6-digit dates (with 2-digit years) to 8-digit dates (with 4-digit years), years higher than the Century Minimum are presumed to be in the current century; years lower and including the Century Minimum are presumed to be in the previous century.
