Hi Jonatan,
I admit I thought this was much easier when I started with a mapping last year. My basic understanding is just as yours, however, I have no proven case with that yet. As my first project is just going hot live these days, I need to wating for some figures before fully trusting what I did and meanwhile keeping parallel books :-/ (you can't do that with a 10+ Txn per day shop, I am afraid, unless you really have nothing else to do).
