Configure Key Fields for Multi-Detail Headers

Edit online

About this task

In extended mode, you must identify multi-detail headers with key fields. You must also specify key fields if there is any possibility of ambiguity in the data (for example, if a multi-detail in the CII file layout has no corresponding data).

Note: Key fields are intended to be used with string fields only. If you use a key field on a numeric field, the result is not guaranteed.

To configure a key field for a multi-detail header:

Procedure

  1. In the Sterling B2B Integrator Map Editor, double-click or right-click the multi-detail header and select Properties.
  2. Click the Key Field tab.
  3. Select Use constant and click Edit.
  4. In the Map Constants dialog box, type the constant you need.
    Tag Data Type Range of Values
    0xFA String A to Z, 1 to 9
    0xFD String 0000 to 65535
