• Key Concepts: 
  Transfer rules are used in SAP Information Steward (EIM-IS) to define the mapping of source data to target data. They are used to ensure that data is accurately and consistently transferred from one system to another. Transfer rules can be used to define the transformation of data, such as changing the format of a date or converting a currency. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Transfer rules are created in the SAP Information Steward (EIM-IS) application. The user must first define the source and target systems, and then create a transfer rule that defines how the data should be mapped from one system to another. The user can also define any transformations that should be applied to the data, such as changing the format of a date or converting a currency. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating transfer rules, it is important to ensure that all of the source and target fields are correctly mapped. It is also important to ensure that any transformations are applied correctly, as incorrect transformations can lead to inaccurate results.
