Defining Data Cross-References
Use Data Cross-Reference Maintenance (35.13.16) to set up automatic conversions from one specified value to another in inbound or outbound documents during the transformation process. You can do this setup on various broad and specific levels. For example, you can apply the conversion to all documents from a certain trading partner or only to a document from that trading partner that uses a specific document type.
Example: You can use this function to perform unit-of-measure conversions between an incoming trading partner document and the target business document in your system.
Use Data Cross-Reference Browse (35.13.17) or Data Cross-Reference Report (35.13.18) to view existing cross-references.
