Mapping: Technical Transfer Structures (SAP Library - SAP Advanced Planner and Optimizer (SAP APO))

Mapping: Technical Transfer Structures

Mapping is the assignment or reciprocal display of data or data types from the sending system and target system.

When linking SAP APO with an R/3 System, it is recommended that you assign both systems to the same business system group. If you do not do so, the master data must be maintained locally for each system.

One mapping table is created for each system. This enables you to publish a different key than that which is used internally.

The R/3 key is mapped to the APO key and converted to a GUID.
