Defining the Filterable Fields

You can use the coupa.ini file to define the filterable fields. The filter fields supported by SDK may differ in names from the Coupa API but the functionality of the filter fields remains the same. So you must provide the filter field names as per Coupa API.
This coupa.ini file is present in the Informatica Secure Agent Plugin folder. The sample directories are:
Note: If you make change in one coupa.ini file, you must make the change in the other coupa.ini file.
The following coupa.ini file displays name of the filter fields as per the SDK standard and its Coupa API equivalent.
For details, see Coupa Arguments.
All the filters fields are mentioned in this file. If the export field is set to false, it exports data which is not exported earlier.
To edit the coupa.ini file, use the following syntax:
Field name=Coupa field name
Where,
Field name: ICS field name.
Coupa field name: The field associated with Coupa system.
See Coupa Argument for more details.
Note: The coupa.ini file must always contain the field name apiendpointname. You must not remove this field name from the file.
