Cross Reference Library
The Cross Reference Library contains all the cross-references that connect the user interface to the TrueAuto system, to EDI transactions, imports, exports, or other internal processes. Each cross-reference record is a method to set definitions or defaults for:
-
Technical codes into meaningful descriptions or headings for the user to see
-
Translating internal codes for use in outgoing EDI, reports, or exports
-
Translating external codes for use when processing incoming EDI, reports, or imports
