• Key Concepts: 
  Mapping objects are used in the ABAP Runtime Environment (BC-ABA) to define the mapping between two different data structures. This mapping is used to convert data from one structure to another, allowing for the exchange of data between different systems. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Mapping objects are created in the ABAP Workbench and can be used to map data from one structure to another. The mapping object defines the source and target structures, as well as the mapping rules that will be used to convert the data. Once the mapping object is created, it can be used in programs or transactions to convert data from one structure to another. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a mapping object, it is important to ensure that all of the fields in the source and target structures are mapped correctly. This will ensure that all of the data is converted correctly and that no data is lost during the conversion process. Additionally, it is important to test the mapping object before using it in production systems.
