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.
Mapping rules only apply if a decomposition relationship is activated, for example, if a condition set for the decomposition relationship is evaluated as true.
Order Management supports the following mapping types:
Ad-Verbatim Mapping Type
In an Ad-Verbatim mapping, the value of the source attribute is copied as is to the destination attribute on the decomposed product. In other words, no transformation of the value is performed.
List Mapping Type
List mapping is configured as pairs of source value and destination value. For a given list mapping, the source value is set to the corresponding destination value.
For example, a source commercial product has the attribute Speed with two values: Fast and Ultra Fast. The destination technical product has a Bandwidth attribute with two values: 2 Mbps and 10 Mbps. You create the following List mapping for the Speed and Bandwidth attributes as:
Source Value: Fast, Destination Value: 2 Mbps
Source Value: Ultra Fast, Destination Value: 10 Mbps
Based on the above mappings:
If the source order has Fast as a value of the Speed attribute, the Bandwidth on the decomposed order is set to 2 Mbps.
If the source order has Ultra Fast as a value of the Speed attribute, the Bandwidth of the decomposed order is set to 10 Mbps
If the source order has Slow as a value of Speed attribute or any other value, no value will be set for the Bandwidth attribute, as the Slow attribute value has no mapping.
