  Target field is a term used in SAP Financial Accounting (FI) to refer to the field in a document that is used to store the amount of an entry. This field is used to store the total amount of an entry, such as a payment or invoice.

  How to use it: 
  In SAP FI, the target field is used to store the total amount of an entry. This field can be found in the document header or line item. When entering an entry, the user must enter the total amount in the target field. The system will then calculate the difference between two amounts and store it in the target field.
