Map Extensible Flexfields to Descriptive Flexfields

Use a service mapping to map an extensible flexfield to a descriptive flexfield on the purchase requisition header in Procurement.

  1. Make sure you have the privileges that you need to administer Order Management.

  2. Create a sand box. For details, see Create a Sandbox So You Can Edit Service Mappings.

  3. Go to the Pricing Administration work area.

  4. Click Tasks, then, under Order Management Configuration, click Manage Service Mappings.

  5. On the Manage Service Mappings page, click FulfillmentIntegration.

  6. On the Edit Service Mapping page, click Sources, then, in the Source column, click PurchaseRequestSource.

  7. In the Details area, on the Entity Mappings tab, in the Entity column, click PurchaseRequestHeader.

  8. On the Attribute Mappings tab, click Actions > Add Row, then set the values.
