  • Key Concepts: 
    Key mapping is a feature of SAP Master Data Governance (CA-MDG) that allows users to map data from one source to another. It is used to ensure that data is consistent across multiple systems and applications. Key mapping allows users to define relationships between different data sources, such as customer and vendor master data, and then use those relationships to automatically map data from one source to another. 
    
    How to use it: 
    To use key mapping in SAP Master Data Governance, users must first define the relationships between the different data sources. This can be done by creating a mapping table that defines the relationships between the different sources. Once the mapping table is created, users can then use the key mapping feature to automatically map data from one source to another. 
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    When creating a mapping table for key mapping, it is important to ensure that all of the fields in the table are properly defined and that all of the relationships between the different sources are accurately represented. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all of the data sources are up-to-date and that any changes made in one source are reflected in all other sources.
