Multisource Mapping Profile Overview

When you work with numerous EDI files, you often need to merge multiple files and translate the resulting data into a single output file to make the data processing flow more efficient. If the original data files have different formats, a good practice is to apply a multi-source map where several sources of any format are used as input files, and the profile translates the aggregated multi-message exchange based on the custom rules. This profile aggregates multiple input EDI files into a multi-message exchange and translates the data into the required format.
