Are you a beginner or intermediate user of SAP Cloud Platform Integration (CPI)? Struggling to understand the difference between fixed values and value mapping? Search no further. This blog post delves into the intricacies of fixed values and value mapping, providing a comprehensive guide to help you navigate this critical aspect of SAP CPI. Following video describes Fixed Values vs Value Mapping in SAP CPI in details.

Fixed Values: A Simple Approach

Fixed values are a straightforward way to insert static values into your integration processes. These values remain constant throughout the integration flow, ensuring consistent outcomes. Fixed values are ideal for situations where you need to hardcode specific data points, such as company names, addresses, or default settings.

Value Mapping: Dynamic Data Transformation

Value mapping, on the other hand, enables dynamic data transformation during the integration process. It allows you to map specific values from one source system to another, ensuring data consistency and integrity. Value mapping is particularly useful when dealing with large datasets or when you need to adapt data according to specific business rules.
