# Configuring Object Type Mapping

The _Object Type Mapping_ object supports customers who want to manually manage registered details or create registrations in bulk for both drug products and medical device products. This object allows you to configure which object types to use for particular registered details, such as _Registered Product_ records, depending on the _Registration Type_ the user selects in either wizard. _Object Type Mapping_ records are also used when creating a _Submission_ record from the Submission Wizard to determine the _Submission_ object type to use based on the _Application_'s object type.

## RIM Mappings

This <a class="download-link " href="https://platform.veevavault.help/assets/downloads/configuring-object-type-mapping-sample-mappings-23r1.xlsx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sample mapping file<i class="fa fa-download" aria-hidden="true"></i></a> provides a typical set of mappings for drug and medical device object types. You may create similar mappings for custom source registration object types or custom object types on target registered detail objects.

Your Vault should have a set of object types defined on the submission join objects (such as _Submission Product_) that correspond to the registration join objects (such as _Registered Product_) defined as targets in the _Object Type Mapping_ records.

## Automatic Mapping

Vault automatically determines object type mappings for the below processes in Vaults created on or after the indicated Vault product release:
