    1. In your request, ask to copy the map and logic from the "source" trading partner
  3. Wait for a response from the Connection Development team saying they copied the map and logic to the new trading partner.
  4. Validate the map and logic by:
    1. Testing the document extraction
    2. Validating output delivered to your ERP
  5. If necessary, request the deactivation of the "source" trading partner through a change request associated with that partner.
