Define Data Mapping

With this app, you can define mappings between source dimensions from any external system and target dimensions available in SAP S/4HANA or SAP S/4HANA Cloud, or in a CSV target file.

With the Define Data Mapping app, the source types you can use are CSV source files, the ACDOCA, ACDOCU, an SAP ECC system table, or an OData custom connection table. But you can also use the Group Journal Entries – Import API to retrieve data from any other source system.

Note

The Group Journal Entries – Import API (Technical name: API_CnsldtnGrpJrnlEntr_Imprt) allows you to import data from any external system to the ACDOCU table of SAP S/4 HANA Finance for Group Reporting, using CSV file mapping definitions.

To find out more, see the Group Journal Entries – Import API chapter from the "Administration Guide for SAP Group Reporting Data Collection": Group Journal Entries – Import API.
The target is the ACDOCU table of SAP S/4HANA Finance for Group Reporting or a CSV file.

The mappings are created in Microsoft Excel files and then downloaded in data mapping definitions. These mappings are used to transform data, and get it ready to be imported into SAP S/4HANA Cloud, from the Run Data Mapping app.
