About Search Specifications for Mappings

---

A mapping search specification filters the records in the business component that you specified to yield the mapping set.

You can define a mapping search specification in two places:

Pricing Mapping list. When you add a mapping record to the Pricing Mapping list, you can enter the search specification using standard Siebel query syntax.
Pricing Mapping Definition list. Alternatively, the Pricing Mapping Definition list gives you a simpler but less powerful way to define search specifications.

If you do not enter a search specification in either of these places, all of the records in the business component are included in the mapping set.

If you enter a search specification in both the Pricing Mapping form and in the Pricing Mapping Definition form, then the criteria in both search specifications are joined with a logical AND operator and executed. If the search specifications are contradictory, the result could be a null set.

You can preview the results of a mapping definition by creating a query in the business component view on which the search specification is based. Use the same logic in the query that you used in the search specification.

NOTE:  When you set search specifications on fields containing phone numbers, you must use the Pricer Mapping list (instead of the Pricer Mapping Definition list) if you want the search to return numbers from countries besides the local country. The local country is defined in the Windows Control Panel regional setting. For more information about setting international phone formats, see Applications Administration Guide.
