Why my custom fields are not available in Cloud Integration Gateway (CIG) Mapping Tool?

CIG has a static schema, this means that the only custom types that can be mapped in the mapping tool are below:

• CustomBoolean 
• CustomDate
• CustomInteger
• CustomMoney
• CustomString

CIG does not support custom types and schema will not be updated for those since the schema is the same for all customers.

The correct structure for custom fields are type, followed by field name and with the respective value, for example: <CustomString name="firstName">nameValue</CustomString>

If you are sending some field as CustomAddressCode or CustomTaxCode for example, it is not possible to add in CIG Mapping Tool schema. It need to be mapped as CustomInteger, in case the value comes as a number or CustomString if the value comes as a string and the field identifier will be set in the name condition, for example:

• <CustomInteger name="taxcode">
• <CustomInteger name="VendorAddressCode">
• <CustomString name="catalogType">
• <CustomString name="Country">
