   Note:  
   Once data is pulled into staging tables, transform maps move data into target tables. For more details, refer to [Source-to-Pay integration framework transform maps and subflows](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/0Qg6pQO6FqaUw0q9tDH4Rg "The transform maps transform the source-to-pay data from the inbound staging tables to the Source-to-Pay primary data tables. The subflows move the source-to-pay data from the outbound staging tables to a third-party ERP system.").  
   You have successfully copied and executed the flow.
