Creating a modified style sheet

To create a modified style sheet:

  1. Select Transformation > Configuration > Style Sheets.
  2. Click Create to display the detail view of the Style Sheets page.
  3. Specify this information:
    Partner Hierarchy Name
    The partner hierarchy name is a classification for a group of communication partners. A partner hierarchy must exist for this configuration.
    Partner ID
    The partner ID is the hierarchy node of the configuration that identifies a communication partner or a group of communication partners. When editing, select the partner ID from the drop-down list. The drop-down list shows the entries of the TradingPartners code list.
    Style Sheet Name
    Specify the file name of the style sheet that is used for the transformation. The style sheet defines how to transform an XML input file into an XML output file.
    The file name of the style sheet must adhere to the naming conventions: SourceApplication_TPcode_TargetApplication.xsl
    • _TPcode_: TPcode is the abbreviation for the trading partner that must match with the selected trading partner from the Partner ID drop-down list. For example: 4905_A0030_PlanningSchedule.xls, whereby 4905 is the source application, A0030 is the abbreviation for the trading partner VW, and PlanningSchedule is the target application.
    • Before and after the underline character, the file name must contain at least one character.
  4. Open the XML style sheet with a text editor. Copy the XML style sheet code to the clipboard and insert the code in the Style Sheet Content text box.
  5. To save the style sheet, click Save.
    A notification displays that the style sheet has been saved successfully.
    Note: The file size of a style sheet is currently limited to 300 KB.
