  Key Concepts: 
  Mapping template is a feature of SAP's BC-XI Exchange Infrastructure (BC-XI) that allows users to define the mapping between different data formats. It enables users to define the structure of the data that is exchanged between different systems, and to define how the data should be transformed from one format to another. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Mapping templates are created in the BC-XI Exchange Infrastructure using the graphical mapping editor. The mapping editor allows users to define the source and target data formats, as well as the transformation rules that should be applied when transforming from one format to another. Once the mapping template is created, it can be used to transform data from one format to another. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a mapping template, it is important to ensure that all of the source and target data formats are correctly defined. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all of the transformation rules are correctly defined, as this will ensure that the data is correctly transformed from one format to another.
