Configuration guidelines for M3 Business Message Data Translation
Overview of M3 Business Message Data Translation
Data translation is normally required between an in-house system and an external system. Data translation allows string data going to (outbound) or received from (inbound) systems to be translated from one value to another.
For example, between two partnering companies, the same things may have different representations, like units of measure codes. For example, one company uses the string data code STK, while the partner company uses the string data code PCS. Both codes refer to the same single unit of measure, designated as styck in Swedish and as pieces in English. It applies only to the string data value and not to the numeric values carried by the string data.
See the instructions for specifying and editing translation data in the Infor M3 Cloud Configuration Guide.
The values for data translation are specified in the M3 functions ‘Business Message Data Translation. Displ’ (CRS881) and ‘M3 Business Message Data. Translate’ (CRS882), where (CRS881) is based on the imported translation definitions. The values in (CRS882) can require update during the ongoing business processes.
To activate the new translation values defined in (CRS881) and (CRS882) in Enterprise Collaborator in the next set of business messages to be processed, you must reload Data translator on the Enterprise Collaborator management pages. To complete this task, select .
