What is Data Mapping?

1. Source-to-target mapping – Defining how fields in one system correspond to another.
2. Transformation rules – Handling differences in formats, units, or naming conventions.
3. Validation checks – Ensuring mapped data meets business and technical requirements.
4. Automation tools – Using scripts, middleware, or integration platforms.
5. Governance – Maintaining documentation and controls for future migrations.

Accurate data mapping is critical when integrating systems or migrating to new platforms like SAP S/4HANA. Without proper mapping, companies face data loss, duplicate records, or misaligned spare part catalogues.

Benefits of effective data mapping include:

• Smooth ERP and CMMS migrations.
• Consistent master data across procurement, maintenance, and finance.
• Reduced errors in reporting and analytics.
• Faster deployment of digital initiatives.
