Reusability - Conversion tables
(Demo in webinar Link for Developers chapter 5 - Conversion tables)
The purpose of conversion tables is to convert a given value in the data received/sent to another value in the data going in/out. A perfect example of this is conversion between unit values (e.g. colli to/from cl or piece to/from pce). Another example could be country codes indicated differently from company to company. Description of how to set up new conversion tables in Link User Guide: Conversions .
When a conversion table is available, different values can be entered for different partners, and it also supports that one partner uses different values for the same information.
