Field mapping

Field mapping tells Sifterra where each extracted value should go in Business Central. The document reader finds values such as invoice number, date, total, item number, and quantity. Field mapping connects each of those values to the correct destination field in the record you want to create or update.

Each mapping row answers two questions:

  • What value was found on the document?
  • Where should that value be written?

Use field mapping when you want imported document data to fill Business Central fields automatically.

Common examples

Section titled “Common examples”
  • Map vendorInvoiceNo to the invoice number field on the header.
  • Map documentDate to the document date field.
  • Map lineItems.quantity to the quantity field on each line.
  • Set a fixed default value for a field that should always be the same.
