  Key Concepts: 
  Field mapping is a process used in SAP NetWeaver Master Data Management (MDM) to define the relationship between two data fields. It is used to ensure that data is accurately transferred from one system to another, or from one field to another within the same system. Field mapping is also used to define the rules for how data should be transformed during the transfer process. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Field mapping is used in SAP NetWeaver MDM to define the relationship between two data fields. This can be done by creating a mapping table that defines the source and target fields, as well as the transformation rules for each field. The mapping table can then be used to transfer data from one system to another, or from one field to another within the same system. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a field mapping table, it is important to ensure that all of the source and target fields are correctly defined. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all of the transformation rules are correctly defined in order to ensure that the data is accurately transferred.
