• Key Concepts: 
  Simple Transformation is a component of the BC-ABA ABAP Runtime Environment. It is a graphical tool used to create and maintain data transformations between different data sources. It allows users to define the mapping of source data to target data, as well as the transformation rules that will be applied to the data. The Simple Transformation component also provides a graphical user interface for creating and maintaining transformation rules.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use Simple Transformation, users must first define the source and target data sources. This can be done by selecting the appropriate source and target tables from the database. Once the source and target tables have been selected, users can then define the mapping of source data to target data. This is done by selecting the appropriate fields from each table and mapping them together. After this is done, users can then define the transformation rules that will be applied to the data. This is done by selecting the appropriate transformation functions from a list of available functions.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating transformation rules, it is important to consider how the data will be used in its final form. This will help ensure that the transformation rules are properly applied and that the resulting data is accurate and useful. Additionally, it is important to test any transformation rules before they are applied in production environments. This will help ensure that any errors or unexpected results are identified before they cause any issues in production systems.
