Hi Shen,

You can do this in two ways :

1.If you are above XI3.0 SP14 then you can use the node function "mapWithDefault" in between the mapping. This will create the xml tag for the field on the target side even if you are not having those fields in the source side i.e., idoc.

2.At first check your field exists or not at runtime & based on that If exists then you map it to the target field else if you dont have then if the field is alphanumeric then map the same length spaces as constant in the target or if the target field is numeric then map with a constant having that many no. of zeros.

Ex:

If>Idocfield>Exists>then>Idocfield

>else>constant(may be with spaces or zeros)

Hi,

Take that XML payload and test your mapping in IR test tab.

Hi,

company_code in the target structure made as a Required field

So make it as 0--1 Occurence, then it will work
