Cloud for Customer Integration – Code List Mapping of Region Codes

I just have been asked on how does the code list mapping for Region Code works. The problem is that a region code may occur multiple times. In order to uniquely identify a regional code it has to be considered in the context of the country

Region Code Table in Fine Tuning –> region Code “MA” has multiple occurrences

In the code list mapping the RegionCode allows to specify a local context in the mapping rule section. The context for the region code is the country.

The region code comes with a wild card – the context for the country is ‘ * ‘.

In case you need to specify an individual code list mapping for a specific country. You can add an additional mapping rule “Map individual Codes” and specify the target country in the field local context.

For that mapping rule (specified with the country as context) mappings for all regions need to be specified. A missing mapping for a region code used in the payload leads to a mapping error exception – the request is not being processed.

Individual regional mapping only needs to be maintained for the specified countries. Hence all other countries w/o any individual mapping rule, the local and remote codes are equally mapped.

The screenshot shows the Web Service Message Monitor of the Administrator Menu. One request could not further be processed due to a mapping error. Reason for the error was a missing regional mapping for the Region Code 02.
