• Key Concepts: 
  Identity transformation is a feature of the ABAP Runtime Environment (BC-ABA) in SAP software. It allows users to transform data from one format to another, such as from a customer ID to a customer name. This transformation is done by mapping the data from one format to another, and can be used for various purposes, such as data cleansing or data enrichment.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use identity transformation in SAP, users must first create a mapping table that defines the source and target formats of the data. This table can be created using the ABAP Dictionary or by using an external file. Once the mapping table is created, users can then use the identity transformation feature to transform the data from one format to another.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a mapping table for identity transformation, it is important to ensure that all of the source and target formats are correctly defined. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all of the data is properly mapped so that the transformation process is successful.
