Hi,

You did nt specified what is interface method you are using.

Field mapping is used in various stages.

Case 1: ALE/IDoc

While developing an custom inbound function module, the idoc fileds has to be

mapped to the table fields where is has to be stored. For an custom outbound

function module vice versa.

Case 2:

If you are using any third party EDI tools like GENTRAN, Business Connector or SAP XI ... , you have to map the idoc fields to the respective out put fields.

3. If you are using BDC/LSMW , you have to map the internal table fields to transaction fields.

In your case to create a sales order, You can check the mandatory fileds by creating a saled order using VA01. In general you need to map
