Mapping Rules for Order Decomposition
Mapping Rules provide a way to pass the attributes of your commercial products and services, such as phone numbers, mobile features, line equipment, upload speed, and download speed, to technical products for later consumption by fulfillment systems.
After you have configured a decomposition relationship that associates a commercial product (an offer) with a technical product, you can define mapping rules that map fields or attributes in an offer to the technical product.
Mapping rules are invoked at order decomposition and used to create fulfillment requests. Mapping rules define the information passed from the source product to the destination product, and thereby to downstream systems. The source product data can be a field or an attribute, but the destination product data must be stored as an attribute.
Mapping rules defined in decomposition relationships are not executed if the source order line is being disconnected.
To define mapping rules, you must specify:
Mapping type: ad-verbatim | List | Static
Mapping Source: Where are the values coming from? You can choose Source Product or Related Product. If you've configured a product to rely on another, then those pr
Source field: Name of the actual field or attribute of the source product
Destination attribute: Name of the attribute in the destination technical product .
Once the mapping rules are defined, a JSON blob is created that displays the mapping data. You can edit the mapping rules in the Decomposition Relationship Detail page, using the Mapping Rules section, or in the Technical section, using the JSON blob.
You can also copy the JSON blob to reuse it in a different decomposition relationship.
- Types of Mapping Rules
When configuring mapping rules for a decomposition relationship, you must select a mapping type that defines how data from a source product attribute or field maps to a corresponding destination product attribute. - How Mapping Works When a Commercial Product Relies on another
When a commercial product relies on another, you can map attribute and field values from both products to the technical product during decomposition. - Configure Mapping with a Relies On Relationship
If a commercial product relies on another, you can use the Related Product option to map attributes from that relied on product to a technical product.
