Property mappings are 1:1 or 1:N mappings from the source to the destination. |
Property Mappings define the BOM columns displayed in SharpSync. You can think of them as the mapping of meta data from one source to another source, or as the mapping of custom properties from one source to another source.
For each mapping you create, a column will be displayed on the screen. Property mappings are expanded upon in detail here.
After setting up your Property Mappings and Rules, open one of the Primary Data Sources to export the Bill Of Materials (BOM) to SharpSync. For more details on exporting a BOM, see the "Export Assembly Or Part" section for each Data Source.
