• Key Concepts: 
  Value mapping is a feature of SAP NetWeaver Master Data Management (MDM) that allows users to map values from one data source to another. This feature enables users to quickly and accurately transfer data from one system to another, without having to manually enter the data. It also helps ensure that the data is consistent across multiple systems. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Value mapping can be used in a variety of ways. For example, it can be used to map values from one system to another, such as from an ERP system to an MDM system. It can also be used to map values from one field in a database to another, such as from a customer name field to a customer ID field. To use value mapping, users must first define the source and target fields, and then specify the mapping rules. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using value mapping, it is important to ensure that the source and target fields are properly defined and that the mapping rules are accurate. Additionally, it is important to test the mapping rules before deploying them in production. This will help ensure that the data is transferred correctly and that there are no errors or inconsistencies.
