It is now time to create the mapping or this transaction.

Mapping a SHUTTLEle is just a matter o connecting SAP elds to a data le. TRANSACTION provides aMapper to acilitate this process.

Auto Mapping will map the entire SHUTTLEle to an Excel spreadsheet. Because o the complexity o thistransaction, we will choose the Create Mapping option instead.

In each o the rows o the Mapper,you will see:
