Value Conversion ID

This field allows a value coming in on the Infor PLM Discrete XML to be converted to another value. This is used as a lookup to the BOM Bulk Import Value Conversion table.

For example, say an XML Tag coming in is called "MyTag" and is mapped to a DB table/column on the BOM Bulk Import Mappings form. Values coming in for that XML Tag need to be converted to a valid value for the DB table/column. So, you could create a Value Conversion ID of "MyTagValueToColumnValue". The Source Value is what comes in on the XML (example: ABC), and the Converted Value is a valid value for the DB table/column (example: DEF). Then, on the BOM Bulk Import Mappings form, for the mapping, select "MyTagValueToColumnValue" in the Value Conversion ID field for the mapping record for "MyTag".

On the BOM Bulk Import Conversions form, enter the value conversion ID. You can enter any arbitrary value.  What you enter here then appears as an option in the Value Conversion ID field on the BOM Bulk Import Mappings form.

On the BOM Bulk Import Mappings form, the list displays distinct Value Conversion IDs. The values in the list are there because they were created on the BOM Bulk Import Conversions form.
