How to map a user field from Action Request form to a base field

We are using the RequestNewInvoicePayment Request Action Form in Infor for manual payment requests. Once the request is approved, the invoice is created in Infor. For reporting, we need to apply an Authority Code to these requests. Because this is not a field included in the delivered field parameters of the form, we have been struggling with how to map this field to the invoice once its created. We created a user field in the PayablesInvoice Buisness Class named IPRAuthorityCode, added it to the form, and set the initial value to the Authority Code we created for these requests (IPR).

Does anyone in the community know how we can map the value of the user field (IPR) to the Authority Code for invoices created from the action request form?

I think User Fields might be mapped by default, but if you need a form field to map to delivered PayablesInvoice field you'll probably have to either customize the existing RequestAction, or create a new RequestAction (copy of the existing one), adding the parameter and mapping in the PayablesInvoice creation invocation.

Thanks for the response. Sounds complex but I'll give it a shot.

Did you already check if the User Field was mapped to the User Field on the PayablesInvoice? I can't recall if User Fields are mapped by default or not, but if you just need it populated in the User Field on the invoice, that might be sufficient without having to alter the delivered actions/process.

You might have to update the UserFieldsForm to see it on the invoice.

If you do need that value mapped to the AuthorityCode field though, you will likely need to add some additional action customization.

I only added the user field because the Authority Code field wasn't a Parameter on the delivered action/process. I was thinking it might be easier to just add the user field and try to map the IPR value to the Authority Code field on the invoice but maybe not. If theres a way for me to update the parameters to inlcude the Authority Code field on the delivered action/process that would be preferred.
