How to: Set up a conversion table

Use this task to set up conversion tables. A conversion table holds a one-to-one translation from an internal value to an external value. You can define the translation in a document definition, for example, to map a customer number to an EAN code.

To set up a conversion table:

1. Go to the setup area of the solution. Depending on the solution:
   • For Connectivity Studio: go to Departments > Business Integration Solutions > Connectivity Studio > Setup.
   • For Notification Management: go to Departments > Business Integration Solutions > Notification Management > Setup.
   • For Replication Management: go to Departments > Business Integration Solutions > Replication Management > Publications > Setup for publications, or Subscriptions > Setup for subscriptions.
   • For EDI Studio: go to Departments > Business Integration Solutions > EDI Studio > Setup.
2. Select Conversion Tables.
3. Edit the conversion table and fill in the following fields:

Field	Description
Code	Identification of the conversion table.
Description	Short description of the conversion table.
Internal Value	Internal value, for example, a customer with value 10000.
External Value	External value, for example, a customer with EAN code EAN123456789.

The conversion table is set up with a one-to-one translation from internal to external value.
