Object Mapper is a program that transfers data from one object to another. The asset-based ordering process allows the Object Mapper to accept more objects. Object Mapper maps child line items as well as the objects and fields associated with them.

You can move items such as line item attachments and custom child objects using Object Mapper throughout the asset-based ordering cycle.

For example, as a child of the line item object, you could have created an object Subsidiary. Subsidiary can be moved along with the line item objects.

By default, asset-based ordering processes quotes, orders, assets, and their associated line items. Object Mapper can be used to add more objects. If no object mapping is specified, only the header and header line items are moved. The process will not fail if you specify an object map but no field mappings exist. However, a log entry mentions this problem.

In Energy & Utilities Cloud, each asset is usually mapped to a service point. Other mappings are possible. For example, an asset can be mapped to a unit rate or to a contract. However, these alternative mappings often require custom configurations.

Object Mapper uses the custom object Custom Object Map (CustomObjectMap__c) to store the object mapping, which has the following custom fields:

CUSTOM FIELD	DESCRIPTION	EXAMPLE
Source Parent ObjectSourceParentObject__c	Stores the source parent object name.	Opportunity
Destination Parent ObjectDestinationParentObject__c	Stores the destination parent object name.	Quote
Source Child ObjectSourceChildObject__c	Stores the source child object name	OpportunityLineItem
Destination Child ObjectDestinationChildObject__c	Stores the destination child object name.	QuoteLineItem
Parent Source Reference FieldPartentSourceReferenceField__c	Stores parent source reference field	OpportunityId in OpportunityLineItem
Parent Destination Reference FieldParentDestinationreferenceField__c	Stores child target reference field	QuoteId in QuoteLineItem

1. Go to the Object Mapper tab.
2. Select the Source Parent Object, for example, Quote.
3. Select the Destination Parent Object, for example, Order.
4. From Source Object, select the child object to map.
5. From Destination Object, select the child object to map.
6. From Parent source reference field, select the parent object field to map.
7. From Destination source reference field, select the destination object field to map.
8. To add more mappings, click Add.
