  Data flows can be used to move data from one system to another, such as from an external system to an SAP system. The data flow process involves extracting data from the source system, transforming it into the desired format, and loading it into the target system. Data flows can also be used to synchronize data between two systems, ensuring that the data in both systems is up-to-date and accurate.
