Task #19347
openMaintenance - Add "Alias" field for Container Type & Packaging Type
50%
Description
As per the request from @nayeck_nadeem, a new field named “Alias” needs to be added to the Container Type and Packaging Type master tables in the Mfreight system.
This field will be used to map values received from the EDI XML integration, as the container and packaging type codes in the EDI file differ from the values maintained within the system.
Acceptance Criteria
- Alias Field Availability
- A new field named “Alias” is added to:
- Container Type master
- Packaging Type master
- The field supports alphanumeric values.
- Data Maintenance
- The “Alias” field is configurable and editable via the respective master data screens.
- Existing records remain unaffected after deployment.
- EDI Integration Mapping
-
During EDI XML processing:
- The system uses the "Alias" field to map incoming Container Type values.
- The system uses the "Alias" field to map incoming Packaging Type values.
-
Mapping succeeds when the EDI value matches the “Alias”.
@noyan_avisham, kindly note that MCL has been querying us several times relating to the EDI integration.
