• Key Concepts: 
  Timestamp collection is a feature of the FS-BA-SD Source Data component of SAP software. It allows users to collect and store timestamps for each data record in a source system. This allows users to track changes in the data over time and identify any discrepancies between the source system and the target system. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use timestamp collection, users must first enable it in the source system. This can be done by selecting the “Enable Timestamp Collection” option in the source system settings. Once enabled, users can then collect timestamps for each data record in the source system. The timestamps are stored in a separate table and can be used to track changes in the data over time. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using timestamp collection, it is important to ensure that the timestamps are accurate and up-to-date. This can be done by regularly checking the timestamps against the source system to ensure that they are up-to-date. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all data records have a timestamp associated with them, as this will help ensure accuracy when tracking changes over time.
