Typical transformation rule scenarios ​

Use automatic document splitting and merged reference creation in common procurement scenarios.

Core requirements ​

  • Configure multiple rules for one transformation route.
  • Copy and adapt existing rules.
  • Trace related documents and write execution data back.
  • Map source and target Record Types.
  • Close source documents automatically after completion.
  • Split one document by detail attributes or merge details from multiple documents. Merging is planned.

Scenario 1: Automatically split and push an approved Purchase Requisition ​

Scenario description ​

Company A has fixed suppliers for common materials.

  1. A department submits one Purchase Requisition for computers from Supplier A and monitors from Supplier B.
  2. The requisition is approved.
  3. The system splits it into two Purchase Orders based on the Supplier field.
  • Transform Purchase Requisition to Purchase Order.
  • Map both master objects and their detail objects.
  • Use Supplier as the split dimension.
  • Trigger the push from a Workflow post-action after approval.

Scenario 2: Merge documents with reference creation ​

Scenario description ​

Company B purchases MRO and office supplies centrally each month.

  1. Departments submit multiple Purchase Requisitions.
  2. At month-end, a buyer creates a Purchase Order and clicks Create by Reference.
  3. The buyer selects requisitions awaiting procurement.
  4. The system merges detail lines with the same material category and requested delivery date.
  • Pull Purchase Requisition data into a Purchase Order through Create by Reference.
  • Associate the action with the transformation rule.
  • Merge when Material Category and Requested Delivery Date match.
