Field Information

Segment Type

The type of information that the translation table translates. This is also the type of information represented by the segment to which you link the translation table.

Allowed values

Option

A product feature only used in an assembly-controlled environment.

Infor LN Field

The contents of a specific field in LN. Note that the segment is only generated correctly if the field has a value and belongs to the package in which the identification code is generated.

Sequence

The item's sequence number.

Translation Table

Select this segment type if you want the identification code to contain a converted value. For example, instead of the year 2006, the letter D is added; instead of 2005, the identification code contains C. You must also define a translation table in the Translation Tables (tcibd4504m000) session. The translation table type determines the type of information that is converted: Option, Infor LN Field, or Date. Define the translations table's values in the Values by Translation Table (tcibd4106m000) session.

Date

A year, month number, date, weekday number, hours, or minutes.
