• Key Concepts: 
  Import is a process in SAP EIM-DS Data Services that allows users to move data from one system to another. It is used to transfer data from external sources, such as flat files, databases, or other applications, into the SAP system. The import process can be used to create new records or update existing records in the SAP system. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the import process, users must first define the source of the data they want to import. This can be done by creating a data source object in the Data Services Designer. Once the source is defined, users can then create an import job that will read the data from the source and write it into the target system. The job can be configured to perform various operations on the data, such as filtering, sorting, and transforming. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating an import job, it is important to ensure that all of the necessary fields are included in the job definition. This will ensure that all of the required data is imported correctly. Additionally, it is important to test the job before running it in production to ensure that it works as expected.
