• Key Concepts: 
  Object Transfer Structure (OTS) is a feature of the SAP FS-BA-SD Source Data component that allows users to transfer data from one system to another. It is a set of predefined objects that can be used to transfer data between different systems. The objects are organized into a hierarchical structure, which makes it easier to identify and transfer the necessary data. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the Object Transfer Structure, users must first define the objects they want to transfer. This can be done by selecting the objects from the hierarchical structure and then specifying the source and target systems. Once the objects have been defined, users can then transfer the data by executing the OTS. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using OTS, it is important to ensure that all of the necessary objects are selected and that they are correctly mapped between the source and target systems. Additionally, users should also ensure that all of the necessary data is included in the transfer.
