• Key Concepts: 
  Field mapping is a process used in the SAP Application Interface Framework (CA-GTF-AIF) to map fields from one application to another. It is used to ensure that data is transferred accurately and efficiently between two applications. Field mapping involves assigning a source field to a target field, which allows the data from the source field to be transferred to the target field. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Field mapping is used when transferring data between two applications. The first step is to identify the source and target fields that need to be mapped. Once these fields have been identified, they can be mapped by assigning the source field to the target field. This will ensure that the data from the source field is transferred accurately and efficiently to the target field. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When mapping fields, it is important to ensure that the data types of the source and target fields are compatible. If they are not compatible, then the data may not be transferred correctly. Additionally, it is important to double-check that all of the fields have been mapped correctly before transferring any data.
