Nomenclature

Nomenclature provides components used to create a mapping of unique terms you use in your business model to a set of unique terms your trading partners use.

Configuring nomenclature components
The Nomenclature Runtime components provide a mapping tool that allows you to configure unique terms you use to match unique terms your trading partners use.
Defining nomenclature codes
Nomenclature Codes allows you to create, modify, and delete attribute codes that can be used to define entities in Nomenclature Definition.
Defining nomenclature definitions
Nomenclature Definition allows for entities requiring transformation to be created. These entities are identified for each System and Participant (Enterprise, Buyer, Seller, Carrier). Entities definitions are created for a combination of one or more attribute codes. The attribute codes that make an entity are common across all participating systems and participants.
Defining nomenclature configuration
Nomenclature Configuration allows you to define the rules to be applied and the entities that need to be transformed when data is exchanged between Sterling Order Management System Software and external systems or trading partners. The configuration is captured for each document exchanged.
