Overview of Domain-Value Mapping

When you exchange messages with trading partners, your values for specific data elements in Oracle applications may differ from the values of your trading partners for the same data elements.

For example, your trading partner may use "Massachusetts" whereas you use the abbreviated term MA for the name of the state. You can map such data elements using the Manage Collaboration Messaging Domain Value Map task from the Setup and Maintenance work area. A domain-value map associates values used by one domain for a specific field to the values used by other domains for the same field.
