If any values in the data stream are missing, the instances of the Multi-Instance Keywords are created as expected and only the missing data is excluded.
For example:
When processing an import file, the EDI 810 processor identifies the following values in the EDI data stream:
28500, 4 GB RAM, 10, 17701, USB Wireless Mouse, $15.00, 50
Note in the sample data above, the Unit Cost value is missing for the 4 GB RAM item data.
Based on the configuration of the Multi-Instance Keyword Type Group, two instances are created:
|
Instance 1 |
Instance 2 |
