• Key Concepts: 
  Attribute mapping is a feature of SAP Engineering Control Center (SAP ECTR) that allows users to map attributes from one system to another. This feature enables users to transfer data from one system to another, such as from a Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) system to an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use attribute mapping, users must first define the source and target systems. Then, they must define the mapping rules for each attribute. This includes specifying the source and target attributes, as well as the mapping type (e.g., direct or indirect). Once the mapping rules are defined, users can then execute the mapping process. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When defining the mapping rules, it is important to ensure that the source and target attributes are compatible. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the mapping type is appropriate for the data being transferred. For example, if the data is numerical, then a direct mapping should be used.
