Create Item Maps from the PO View

When buyers order a product that matches a supplier catalog item, but they want a different value for the quantity, item code, item description, or UOM, suppliers can review the historical order and generate new item maps for future use. Item maps are rules as opposed to one-off edits to documents.

Note: Normally, Intelligent Business Rules does not require a catalog item validation before creating an item map. If your organization wants to use only item maps that have a catalog-based, pre-validated SPN and UOM combination in the Correct To definition, contact GHX Customer Care and request that GHX enable the following functionality: "Item Mapping: Validation Item Map for Corrections."
