Mapping: Technical Transfer Structures

Mappingis the assignment or mutual display of data or data types from the sending and target systems.

When an SCM system is connected to an ERP system, we recommended that you assign both systems to the same business system group. If you do not, 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 externally from the internal one used in the system.

The ERP key is mapped to the SCM key and then converted to a GUID.
