Answer / saravana

Transfer rule nothing but mapping source field to BW info-
objects. It is nothing to do with update rules.

Transfer rule/Transfer structure helps to map fields and
info-objects and to load data till PSA flat table.

In update rules we got: 1) Direct Assignment - mapping
without any modification, 2) Initial - for which data not
loaded for that info-object, 3) Constant - defining any
constant value to be updated to data target, 4) Formula -
applying formula like (+,-,*,/), 5) Routine - which allows
to built expert routine for the info-object and it doesn't
return any value, also surpasses if any start & end routine
used, 6) Read-Master data - which allows the info-object to
update data target with master data value.
