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 enables the string data going to (outbound) or be received from (inbound) systems to be translated from one value to another.

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. Display’ (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. Select Administration Tools > Enterprise Collaborator Administration to complete this task.
