<i>Header mapping

In the header mapping you can map the values of the following key fields of the receiver agreement to other values: sender and receiver party, sender and receiver service. The address fields (sender, receiver) in the message header are then transformed correspondingly during outbound processing.

The header mapping is important when configuring cross-company processes in which the business partners want to replace the names of their internal business systems with neutral representatives (party, business service). </i>

Hi Pasi,

Header mapping is used when u want to chaneg the header values coming in the message containing sender information .

For example when I am getting a message from sender A and we want to make this sender as B then we use header mapping.This is generally used to replicate the scenarion where I am using a different sending system but I am expecting a different system for routing mapping etc

hi

Try this

The header mapping is made available in the receiver agreement. It is required in the IDoc adapter, for example, because the IDoc adapter does not know any communication parties.

After header mapping, the adapter must also convert the address to an external protocol.
