Transformation Rule

Can be used to reformat the column value using built in formatting functions.
Business Central provides a list of pre-configured transformation rules that can be utilised, otherwise new rules can be created. Transformation Rules can also be used in the Automatic Matching Rules.



If you select the UPPERCASE rule on the Code column, when the bank statement file is imported in the "Bank Account Reconciliation" page, the text in this column will be converted to uppercase.

Furthermore, if you choose to apply the transformation rule in the Data Exchange Definition field mapping, it will be applied on all of the statement lines.

You can choose too apply transformation rules only when matching the statement lines for more flexibility. For instance, if you want to convert the Code to UPPERCASE only when matched to a customer, transformation rule should not be applied here; it should be defined on the Matching Rules.



You can create a Transformation Rule to correct a possible mistake on a Customer's payment references and apply it to Automatic Matching Rules. Here is an example of correcting a reference entered as the letter C and letter O rather than the number 0 (zero) for customer numbers starting with a C and followed by 5 numbers.


  1. Click on the field Code - Enter the text COtoC0.
  2. Click on the field Description - Enter the text CO to C0.
  3. Click on the field Transformation Type.
  4. Click on the item Replace in the list.

We will transform a reference entered as the letter C and letter O rather than the number 0 (zero).


  1. Click on the field Find Value - Enter the text CO.
  2. Click on the field Replace Value - Enter the text C0.
  3. Click on the textarea Test Text - Enter the text CO1234.
  4. Click on the field Update.
  5. See the Result to see the letter C followed by numbers zero, one, two, three, four.
  6. Click on the button OK.
