• Key Concepts: 
  A source file is a file that contains data that is used as the source of information for a data migration process. It is typically an Excel or CSV file that contains the data to be migrated into the SAP system. The source file is used to create a mapping between the source data and the target SAP system. 
  
  How to use it:

  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a source file, it is important to ensure that all of the columns in the file are properly labeled and that all of the data is in the correct format. This will help ensure that the data migration process runs smoothly and without any errors.
