Export Mappers in Tridens Monetization are used to structure outbound data (like payment records, invoice data, or event logs) into a format required by external systems — such as banks, ERPs, billing partners, or BI tools.
With export mappers, you define how system data is transformed and formatted before being exported, ensuring compatibility with third-party consumers.
Where to Find Export Mappers
Navigate to:Business Configuration > Export
Figure 1: Export Mappers default page
Export Mapper Types
The Export Mappers screen contains three distinct tabs, each representing a domain-specific export type. Like the Import Mappers, all use the same configuration format.
Available Tabs:
- Payment Mappers
- Invoice Mappers
- Event Mappers
Each tab includes an Add option to configure a new export mapper.
Adding a New Export Mapper
Click the Add button in any of the tabs to launch the Create Export Mapper form. The fields below are common to all three mapper types.

Required Fields
Table 1: Required Fields
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | A clear, unique name for the mapper (e.g., ERP_Invoice_Export) |
| Code | Internal system code identifier (e.g., ERP_01) |
| Description | Optional. Notes or context for what this export covers |
| Prefix | Optional. Used to tag records uniquely or format export file names |
| Import Mode | While primarily for importers, this field may appear if the mapper is used for bidirectional sync |
| Delimiter | Specifies the separator for the exported file (e.g., comma ,, tab \t, semicolon ;) |
You may also define column-to-field mapping rules after uploading the file, depending on system configuration.
Tabs Overview
1. Payment Mappers
Used to export outbound payment data (e.g. processed transactions, settlements) in the required bank or partner format.
2. Invoice Mappers
Structures billing and invoice data for export to ERP systems or external accounting tools like SAP or QuickBooks.
3. Event Mappers
Exports logged usage events, threshold breaches, or business rule events to external systems or auditors.
Best Practices
Info “Tip” - Match export structure to the destination system’s field specs (e.g., CSV column names). - Use the Prefix field to version or timestamp your exports. - Validate the delimiter with the file viewer or script consuming the export. - Always test export mapping in a non-production environment first.
Summary
Export Mappers help you deliver structured, compatible, and accurate outbound data to external systems.
Be sure to:
- Name each mapper clearly
- Upload a representative file structure
- Match export fields to system data
Once configured, export mappers automate file generation, improve compliance, and enable seamless integrations.
