• Key Concepts: 
  Field mapping is the process of connecting fields from one system to another. In the context of SAP PLM-INT PLM system integration, field mapping is used to connect fields between two systems, such as a product lifecycle management (PLM) system and an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. This allows data to be shared between the two systems, allowing for more efficient and accurate data management. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Field mapping is done by creating a mapping table that defines which fields in one system correspond to which fields in the other. This table can be created manually or using an automated tool. Once the mapping table is created, the data can be transferred between the two systems. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a field mapping table, it is important to ensure that all of the fields are correctly mapped. This will ensure that the data is accurately transferred between the two systems. Additionally, it is important to keep the mapping table up-to-date as changes are made in either system.

  Field mapping is a key component of SAP PLM-INT PLM system integration. It is also used in other areas of SAP, such as SAP Business Warehouse (BW) and SAP Business Objects (BO). Additionally, field mapping can be used to connect data between different systems, such as an ERP system and a customer relationship management (CRM) system.
