8 Managing Category Mappings

You define category mappings for categorizing and mapping source system data to a target Scenario dimension member. For example, in a Planning application, the same source system data is stored using the Scenario dimension member "Current". In Data Integration, you can create category mapping for the scenario dimension member. Ensure that the target category value specified does exist in Planning under the Scenario Dimension.

Every integration is created with a reference to Category (POV Category). When you want to export data to a different scenario than the source application, then category mapping can be used accordingly (either Application mapping or Global Mapping). (Category mapping do not have any impact during the extract step. The extract depends on the source filter if any have been provided.)
