Inbound maps

Inbound maps take messages sent from various trading partners to create the map’s output. Running inbound maps tests this data before you move the maps into production.

NoteBefore you can run a map, you must set up the trading partner information. See Chapter 3, “Working with Trading Partners and Trade Agreements.”
