Value mapping - converting a value in the source to a another in target. Say in source it might me KM but in target u might need Kilometers.

Hi Seetha Ram,

Value mapping: Where we maintain a table of values which are mapped.

based on the incoming value we can send the respective resultant value.

for Eg: for language SAP maintains as EN --> English etc

can u refer these

Hi Seeta Ram,

Value mapping tables in XI helps to define mapping between values during runtime cache of integration server.Normally mapping is stored in database or R/3 but here in value mapping it is stored in runtime cache.So Value mapping table is accessible to all MM.

But fixed value table will create a local table to perform a value mapping for that particaular element which u r going to map it through.

Hope u understand the difference.!!!
