v. Key1 is any unique key which you would be using for mapping certain
parameters of suppliers convention with your(oracle) conventions. For
example: The supplier categorizes an item under 21000000 category whereas
the same item is categorized under MISC.MISC category in Oracle Inventory, in
such a case we map the suppliers item category with oracles item category,
uniquely for value specified in key1. See Figure 8.0 and Figure 9.0 for more
information.
3. Enter mapping details.
a. Select e-Commerce Gateway responsibility and open the form(navigation shown in
Figure below)

Zone. Refer Figure 6.0

NOTE: Figure 9.0 shows how an external supplier name is mapped with that of Supplier name
defined in Oracle. This is an important mapping step required if in the requisition the supplier
name is to be picked from the system and not the one passed by the supplier in the punchout
XML/cXML.
IMPORTANT NOTE: A BPA for the supplier must exist in order to map the supplier name in
punchout with the supplier created in the ERP. This is additional step after setting up the code
conversions for VENDOR_NAME
