Creating Data Mapping Profiles
This topic provides an overview of data mapping profiles and discusses how to create data mapping profiles.
When you add a trading partner, you assign to it a map profile, which lists the electronic commerce maps that the EDI agent can use to process transactions from the partner. The map profile serves two purposes:
It restricts a trading partner’s access to transactions that they aren’t authorized to exchange with your company.
By assigning different map profiles to different trading partners, the EDI agent processes the same transaction differently for different partners.

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Ec Map Profile Def page.
To create a map profile, add the maps for all the transactions that you want partners with this map profile to use. Select a map ID in the EC Map ID field, and then add a new row to add another map. Don’t forget to add both inbound and outbound maps.
