# Define field mapping sequence

On import, the business logic in D365 F&SCM calls the **ModifiedField** method. This method can set or change other values. If the field mapping sequence is not right, it can reset values which are just imported. You can modify the sequence of the fields in the mapping. The sequence is important if you:

- Import data.
- Exchange data between D365 F&SCM environments.

> [!NOTE]
> **Tip**
> 
> Set field mappings in the sequence in which you fill in the fields in the related form.
