Splitting up a BOD

I have a need to split a BOD into multiple BODs. For example, I have an incoming SalesOrder BOD that has multiple items and I need to transform that into another type of BOD that will have an individual document for each item on the sales order. I tried it with a mapping, creating multiple DataArea nodes within the BOD but ION didn't split it up. Does anyone know of a way to do this?

Note also that as of June in the Infor Cloud and Infor OS 12.0.25 On-Premise that there is a document Splitter activity in the Document Flow modeler:

This allows you to select just one part of a parent BOD schema for processing in a Flow branch.

Hey Nick,

The Mapper itself doesn't do any BOD splitting or merging but you can still use a combination of ION Connect's parallel flow activity to feed the same SalesOrder BOD into several branches, each with a mapping step.

Depending on the mapping logic or needed output, you may need to create multiple mappings to support your flow.
