Once this definition has been created, the application may be selected with an option 2 Configure datamap. The point of configuring a datamap from a spooled file is to select a spooled file that will contain a single financial transaction per page and map the location of each relevant data element from the first page from the beginning of its location to the maximum width of its ending location.

| ACBNK# | Vendor Bank Number |
| ACBNKA | Vendor Bank ABA |
| ACACDT | Vendor Withdrawal Date |
| ACBKTY | Vendor Accout Type |
