In general the mapping file contains nodes and edges only. Fields/InfoObjects of entities which are not mapped are not found in that file. They will be found in the buildup file.

Info

The mappings to any reporting element (Calculated, Restricted Key Figures and BW Queries) from its base InfoProvider is not displayed in the Mapping file.

That is because normally the mappings are 1-1 Mappings. Special cases described here (error) TODO.

Alexander Dürrstein

In the mappings file we will not find any Transformation. All Mappings are displayed without a Transformation.

That means if a source entity 1 is connected via transformation to a source entity 2 where field 1 is mapped to field 2, the mapping file contains only one edge like

source="FIELD1|sourceEntity1|<type>" target="FIELD2|sourceEntity2|<type>"

More in need of explanation are the mapping through Transformations. Transformations are built up by rules which are identified by ID (e.g. 13|0T4W0HM2PKJ5TE4UCESXS6SVP5X9ITQN|TRFN).
If there is a direct mapping between 2 fields in a Transformation you can condense the information if needed.
Example
<edge id="5" source="13|0T4W0HM2PKJ5TE4UCESXS6SVP5X9ITQN|TRFN" target="0MATERIAL|ZPURDW12|ADSO" />
<edge id="6" source="MATERIAL|ZPURDW_IS12|TRCS" target="13|0T4W0HM2PKJ5TE4UCESXS6SVP5X9ITQN|TRFN" />
Could be condensed to
<edge id="?" source="MATERIAL|ZPURDW_IS12|TRCS" target="0MATERIAL|ZPURDW12|ADSO" />

To find out more about the transformation and its rules the Extended Edition is necessary.
