Stabilization and Usability Enhancements

In this release, certain maps now convert implied decimal values into explicit decimal format. Some attributes, such as quantities, prices, and weights, may be provided in an implied decimal format. In X12 messages, certain fields are defined as implied decimals, which means the user must send the value without the decimal point and rely on the field definition to determine its placement. For example, an amount of value 123.40 with two implied decimals must be sent as the value 12340. This enhancement ensures consistent handling of numerical attributes across transactions, improving accuracy in storage, display, and partner data exchange.

The following maps convert implied decimal values into explicit decimal format:
