Use the Upload Mappings page to customize the way that data is entered into SAP. An upload mapping contains a template and is mapped to a load file so you can manually specify which columns in the load file are mapped to fields in the template. The Upload Mappings page allows you to:
- Set conditionals on fields, use fixed values, start transaction stringing, download data, use your own load files, and more.
- View, edit, create, upload and schedule Upload Mappings from templates and data sources that were created earlier.
- Import Upload Mappings from other users.
- Export Upload Mappings to send to other users or to the Syniti Data Workbench support team.
