Global transformation rules apply across all organisations and trading parties in your Docupath tenant. These rules sit at the lowest level of the scope precedence hierarchy for transformations - they are overridden by trading party, organisation, and country specific transformations. Use global transformations for baseline data modification rules that should apply universally unless a more specific scope overrides them.
How to Create a Global Transformation
Step 1 - Open the Main Menu
Click the dropdown arrow (▾) next to your user avatar in the top-right corner of the screen. This opens the main navigation menu, which lists all settings and features.
Step 2 - Go to "Transformations"
In the main menu, click "Transformations". This navigates you to the Transformations management page.
Step 3 - Switch to the "Global" Tab
Click the "Global" tab. This is where transformation rules that apply across all organizations and trading parties are managed.
Step 4 - Click "Add New"
Click the "+ Add New" button in the top-right of the Transformations page. A form for creating a new global transformation will open.
Step 5 - Add a Title
In the Title field, enter a descriptive name for your transformation. For example:
Changing UOMs
Step 6 - Select a Document Type
Click the Document Type dropdown and select the document type this transformation applies to.
Step 7 - Write the Transformation Rule
Click inside the Rules text area and type your transformation logic. For example:
If an item_uom is in g or grams, and the item_quantity is greater than 1000, set item_uom to kg and divide item_quantity by 1000
Step 8 - Link a Supporting File (Optional)
If your rule references external data, click the "Link Supporting File" link. A popup will open allowing you to select a supporting file that has already been uploaded to your tenant instance.
Step 9 - Click "Refine with AI"
Click the "Refine with AI" button (pencil ✏️ icon). Docupath's AI will process your instruction and may surface feedback, errors, or suggestions to help improve the rule's clarity and specificity. Wait for the response before proceeding.
Step 10 - Click "Generate with AI"
Click the "Generate with AI" button (lightning ⚡ icon) to programmatically generate the transformation rule based on your written instruction. The button will show a loading spinner while the rule is being generated. Wait until the loading state completes before proceeding.
Step 11 - Click "Save"
Once generation is complete, click the "Save" button at the top of the screen to save the transformation. You will be returned to the Transformations list, and a confirmation banner will indicate the transformation was saved successfully.
