Query on designing part

Question

Hi,
In my scenario,my IDOC is having several segments.Each segment is having same fields,say FieldA,FieldB.
I want to do in mapping in such a way that whenever the value of FieldA is 'Customer',I want to retrieve the corresponding value of FieldB and pass it to the target .
Similarly,when the Value of fieldA is 'Vendor',I want to retrieve the corresponding value of FieldB and pass it to the target .
Here,the IDOC may have 7-8 segments and each segment will have two fields and these fields may contain any value.But,I would like to pass the corresponding values of only those segments which contain 'Customer' and 'Vendor' which is coming as first instance to my target.
My required value 'Customer' and 'vendor' may occur in any of the segements.
Please give your ideas on how to do designing of this scenario.it would be great if I can get some screenshots .
Regards,
Alex.

HI Alex,
First thing that you could do this with Graphical mapping No Need of BPM the given UDF will 100% fulfiill your requirment.
In Graphical mapping at left most-bottom corner you will get an icon to create the UDF.
Click on it and give some name to it as TestUdf with proper description.
Then click on add button to add import fields and give the name as filedA, filedB.
Select the check box for cache parameter as "Queue" and save it.
It will open one editor to write Java code.
Copy the code mentioned in my above post and then in Graphical mapping API List select User Defined function as you did for other APIs such as Text, Date etc.
You will get the API TestUdf and drag it for mapping.
It will ask for the input parameters which you need to map it fieldA and fieldB,
Then map response with target element.
For Target end if you are expecting the value from FiledA then pass FieldA two times or else FieldA and FieldB as import parameters
refer below link to create UDFs
