Replacement

The replacement mapping is designed to modify special characters in field values that require alteration before they can be processed or sent. This mapping identifies the characters to be replaced and uses a separately defined replacement scheme to perform the modifications. Here's a breakdown of the attributes required to configure a replacement mapping:
