Create a Default Item

To create a new Cost Allocation Default item:

1. Click New, in the left-hand frame of the browser window.

The browser displays the Edit Default form on the right-hand side of the Integration Administration application page.

2. This form includes a list of configuration parameter prompts followed by empty text boxes.
3. To add a Name value:
• Click in the text box, and type text or numbers to create a unique name for the item.
4. To add a Select EBD Table value, click in the drop-down menu, and select a table name from the Procurement application, to be mapped to the ERP system.
5. Click [Get Fields] to populate the Select Key Field and Select the description field drop-down menus from your selected EBD Table.
6. To add a Select Key Field value, click in the drop-down menu, and select a field name that needs to be mapped to the ERP system.

This should generally be the Primary Key of the table. For example, you would select UOMID for UOM, or SupplierID | if the Procurement application table is Supplier.

7. To add a Select the description field value, click in the drop-down menu, and select a field name description.

This helps in setting up the mappings because many values in the Key Field are numeric (being primary key) and do not give much information about the contained data. For example, for UOM you may select BuyerDesc, or for Supplier you may select Name.

8. To add an optional Alias for the key field value:
• Click in the text box, and type an alias for the value in the Select Key Field.
9. To add a Default Class Handler Name value, click to the right of the drop-down menu, and select a value from:
