Defining Code Conversion Categories
4-8 Oracle e-Commerce Gateway User’s Guide
During outbound code conversion processing, any Code Conversion Values record
that contains multiple External Values will convert all External Values and write
them to the interface file (if the Code Conversion Values record matches all other
criteria).
During inbound code conversion processing, all External Values plus other
matching criteria must be contained in the Code Conversion Values record in order
for that record to qualify for code conversion.

Defining Code Conversion Categories
A category is a label assigned to a group of code conversion rules in the Code
Conversion Values window. For example, the UOM category contains all unit of
measure code conversion rules.
All desired categories, such as unit of measure or carrier code, must be defined.
Any category can be used in several transactions, or several times within a single
transaction.
You can use a code conversion category from the e-Commerce Gateway’s
predefined list or you can define your own code conversion category.
Once defined, code conversion categories must be assigned to table columns to
activate the code conversion for the specific data element. You do this in the Assign
Categories window.
