How You Use a Supplier Content Map Set With Agreement Loader

A map set can be used when uploading agreement lines. The applicable attributes that can be mapped are category and unit of measure. The values in the upload file are considered to be external values in this mapping process.

When uploading agreement lines, you can indicate if external values should be mapped to a corresponding internal value for the attribute.

If you choose to apply mapping, a map set must be specified.

  1. If a default map set is configured for the procurement BU, it's chosen by default. You can override this value.

  2. If no default map set is configured for the procurement BU, you must select a map set.

The following steps are used to determine a mapped internal value for the attribute:

  1. If a map set is specified, the map set is searched during the mapping process to identify a matching external value for the attribute being mapped. If a match is found, the mapped internal value is used for further processing.

  2. If the external value isn't found in the specified map set, the default map set for the Procurement BU of the agreement line is searched for a matching external value. If a match is found, the mapped internal value is used for further processing.

  3. If the external value isn't found in the default map set, then the external value isn't mapped, and is used as is for further processing.
