Creating and Modifying Rules

Click Rules on the Partner Maps grid control bar from your project's Maps page to access Rules > Line Item Conversions.

Use the left pane of the split workspace to assign line item conversion values to an item record (on the right) during the import into Transaction Manager based on specific criteria (conditions). Item records can be removed during import into Transaction Manager so that they will not be sent to your Trading Partners.

Field	Description
Token	Determines on what value a condition is performed. Clicking the button next to a token under Line Item Conversions populates the Value field of the record.
Value	Value assigned in Transaction Manager when the item conversion statement is true.
Value1	Value that makes condition 1 a true statement. Also, the value displayed in the condition 1 row.
Value2	Value that makes condition 2 a true statement. Also, the value displayed in the condition 2 row.

Item Conversion Rules

Clicking the control to the left of a specific value under Rules > Line Item Conversions will launch the Item Conversion Rules page for assigning values to an item record.

Fields are assigned conversion details on the Item Conversion Rules page where:

Token	Transaction Manager field used to determine when the statement is performed.
Value	Value assigned in Transaction Manager when the statement is true.
Remove Item	If enabled, the item row (Condition) will be removed during import into Transaction Manager when the statement is true.
Item Level	If enabled, Mapping Manager will check to ensure the Project Value being imported is a line item.
Conditions	Project field used to determine when the statement is executed.

Example

Refer to the screenshot above. A shipping charge may be included with an item (goods) charge on an invoice within a Project. The shipping charge does not represent the item itself that was sold to the customer, but it is recorded with the item in the Project (as $20 for the item, and with $5 on a second line below the item as the shipping charge).

The Project Invoice will show a total of $25. However, the expectation will be that only the actual goods at the line level, not the shipping cost, will be shown when the data is sent back to Amazon. Using Mapping Manager’s Line Item Conversion function, the customer can ensure that if the shipping value is included at the line level, it will be removed from the line while the item data will remain on the line in the Invoice. The shipping cost will be placed separately in the actual shipping cost field for Amazon.

NOTE

Data can also be added using Line Item Conversions.

To populate the Value field of the conversion details, select the action that will occur (to populate the Token field) when conditions are met (when the statement is true) from the Tokens tab.

Use the middle tab on the left (Invoice in the screenshot) to select criteria for the line item converstion in the top Conditions panel on the right.

The screenshot above shows the ITEM_COST Token, the Condition selected and =(CS String Compare) selected from the Condition Comparison drop-down with “Shipping” entered by the user in the Conditions field, plus the Value entered and the Remove Item box checked under Options to remove it in the Line Item Conversion. To save it, click Save on the action bar.

To modify an existing Line Item Conversion once it has been saved, click the Edit control on the Rules page, make any necessary changes, and then click Save on the action bar.
