Loop-level mapping in CargoWise allows a single EDI file's repeating loops to generate multiple corresponding records such as multiple shipment jobs or consoles.
What is the function of a 'Cross-Reference Table' in CargoWise EDI mapping?
Answer: It translates trading partner codes to CargoWise internal codes and vice versa
Cross-Reference Tables in CargoWise translate external trading partner codes (such as carrier SCAC codes or port codes) into the corresponding CargoWise internal code values.
