What are the options available in the transfer rule. | SAP BW INterview Questions

Assign info object, assign a constant, ABAP routine or a Formula (From version 3.x);
Examples are :
a. Assign info object — direct transfer; no transformation
b. Constant — for example if you are loading data from a specified country in a lat file, you can make the country as constant and assign the value
c. ABAP routine — for example if you want to do some complex string manipulation; assume that you are getting a lag file from legacy data and the cost center is in a field and you have to "massage" the data to get it; in this case use ABAP code.
d. For simple calculations use formula; for example you want to convert all lower case characters to upper case; use the TOUPPER formula
