When transforming incoming or outgoing documents, we often need a so-called recoding or translation of proper or foreign keys. For this purpose, value tables and value providers are usually created. Normally a trader does this when receiving PRICATs¹⁾. Here then e.g. the commodity groups, colors and sizes data of the Liefaranten on the own keys are translated. For this a value provider was created for each attribute which contains all known keys ideally with designation. In addition a value table was prepared, which is used depending upon requirement global or partner-specifically. All this is already explained in detail in the HowTo vorbereitung.

If you want to fill the value provider and value table automatically with content, the following preparations are necessary:

1. a suitable documenttype for the transfer of the key-value pairs
2. a valueprovider
3. a Wertetabellen
4. a suitable receiving_channel
5. a job A to open the receive channel and delegate to job B
6. a job B to analyze and select the document type
7. a mapping with the document type as source and target object²⁾. In this mapping the function AddLookupKeyValue() is used to create the value provider with the new key³⁾ and the value table with the values to be translated and their assignment to the return value from the value provider.
8. a Automation to start the Job A
