SAP PI 7.0 Mapping Templates Guide

Mapping templates in SAP Process Integration (PI) 7.0 allow for reusing mapping objects between messages and other templates. Templates can be created based on data types from existing message mappings. They standardize message structure at runtime and can be defined for data types, IDoc and RFC complex types, and external definitions. Mapping templates are data type-based, so changes to a data type used in a message mapping or template will affect the template. However, other changes to a source message mapping will not impact the template. Templates promote reuse and standardization of mapping definitions.
