• Key Concepts: 
  External data is data that is stored outside of the SAP system. This data can be accessed from within the SAP system, but it is not stored in the SAP database. Examples of external data include customer information from a CRM system, financial data from an ERP system, or product information from a third-party vendor. 
  
  How to Use It: 
  External data can be accessed in SAP Mobile by using the External Data Connector (EDC). The EDC allows users to connect to external systems and retrieve data from them. This data can then be used within SAP Mobile for various tasks, such as creating reports or analyzing trends. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using the EDC, it is important to ensure that the external system is properly configured and that all necessary security measures are in place. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the data being retrieved is up-to-date and accurate.
