Question
--------

My formula does not work for a field (in the following 
example for field ‘numberC’) in my inbound formula. For 
demonstration purposes, I will use fields ‘numberA’, 
‘numberB’, and ‘numberC’.

PO1  POSITION 8 Line 50 Qualifier field mapped to ‘V’
PO1  POSITION 8 Line 51 Qualifier field mapped to ‘V’

PO1 POSITION 9 
mapped to field ‘numberA’ 
Line 50 Formula: if |ELEMENT|[9] = ‘V’ THEN ‘A’ ELSE ‘B’

PO1 POSITION 9 
mapped to field ‘numberB’
Line 51 Formula: if |ELEMENT|[9] = ‘V’ THEN ‘A’ ELSE ‘B’

PO1 POSITION 10 
mapped to field ‘numberC’
Line 52 Formula: if |ELEMENT|[9] = ‘V’ THEN ‘A’ ELSE ‘B’

Answer
------

Even though you verify the prior |ELEMENT| in the formula, 
you must still map the prior position’s qualifier.

Here is what you are missing:
PO1  POSITION 8 Line 52 Qualifier field mapped to ‘V’


Here are some more tips for formulas: 
1.Have you put appropriate brackets within your formula?
2.Have you generated your formulas?
3.Do you have other mapping references to that field that 
might overwrite this mapping?
