Accessing the Mapping Tool
In this lesson we will explore how you can access and use the in-built custom mapping tool available in the SAP Integration Suite, managed gateway for Spend Management and SAP Business Network. The mapping tool is an easy-to-use self-service tool that supports the creation of custom mappings for transactional documents.
In the mapping tool, each of the supported transaction document types for which standard mappings exist is available for customization. The user can create their own mapping based on their business requirements. In this video we will explore the tabs available in the mapping tool and their significance.

The table and screen shot below describe the available icons and what they are used for in the mapping tool.
