Ship-To Address Matching Setup

Edit the list to make changes regarding the mandatory fields of interpreted values, like Contact name or Delivery City. If the interpreted value mismatch customers Ship-To Address then the imported document will stay in the imported sales list with error and needs to be handled manually.

All mandatory -marked fields must be met to avoid error on the imported document, so it must for example have a Ship-to Address Filter ''City'', ''Email'' and ''Contact'' according to the example below.

Ship-To Address Matching Setup

Furthermore, it possible to add more than one value on the Ship-to Address Filter. For instance, in the OCR Field ''Contact Name'', add filter ''Name, Contact and Phone No.'' in the Ship-to Address Filter. So, when interpreting a Contact Name in EDC, it's possible to interpret for example a phone no instead of a Name. It's also possible to work with interpreting more than one specific Contact/Name. As long the information exist on the Customer in Business Central, then the sales document will be processed and created when imported.

Field Mapping Setup

Go to: ExFlow Sales Order Import Setup --> Related --> Field Mapping Setup

With ExFlow Standard BC Field Mapping we can transfer interpreted data from imported fields to BC Sales header and line fields.

Click the “Edit List” button and select “Header” or “Lines” in order to display a list of the current mappings. Select a “BC Field No.” to change the field mappings.

When the Sales Order is created, the ExFlow BC Field mapping functionality will transfer the values to the fields on the sales order, as selected in this setup.

This feature can map to all general fields on a sales order, including special ISV and custom fields.

The Misc fields cannot be mapped to a blob field.
