New feature: Integration Assistance

Release date: 04/06/2021

Overview:New Integration Assistance page to help you build your connector by understanding the JSON transaction payload and the associated leader’s requirements.

Purpose: On your new Integration Assistance page, you can select one or several relationships to generate a transaction payload that respects the leader’s guidelines. You can also access granular guideline requirements for each property of the transaction payload.

A relationship is composed of two partners - a sender and a receiver - and a transaction type.
In each relationship, one partner is the leader and the other partner is a follower.
Leaders define and assign guideline and scenario requirements that the follower must respect.

When building a connector for a transaction type, you must respect the leader’s guideline requirements when mapping your transaction payload to your ERP or SOR data: 

• If you’re a Leader, you should map the transaction payload to your requirements.
• If you’re a Follower, you should map the transaction payload to all your leader’s requirements.

The Integration Assistance helps you build your connector mapping for a specific transaction type according to the leader’s requirements by allowing you to:

• Generate a transaction payload in JSON for specific relationships of the same transaction type.
• Access the leader’s guideline requirements for each property and array of the transaction payload.
