In FCCS, which statement is true regarding application mapping when the global mapping target category is exactly correct?

• A. Application mapping is not required if the global mapping target category is exactly correct.
• B. Application mapping is always required.
• C. Global mapping must be defined for every category.
• D. Data frequency is limited to monthly only.

Answer: (A)

In FCCS, you map data using a global mapping layer and, if needed, per-application mappings. If the global mapping target category is exactly correct for the data being loaded, there’s no need to add an application-level override. Application mapping exists to handle exceptions where a specific application's data should be routed to a different target category than the global default. When the global mapping already places the data in the correct target category, adding application mapping would be unnecessary and could complicate the model. So the statement that you don’t need application mapping when the global mapping target category is exactly correct is the right one. The other options misstate when application mapping is required, or they introduce constraints (like monthly data only) that aren’t true.
