# Field Maps Maintenance

This job creates or restores default Field Mapper settings that the CPQ flow uses to map fields between objects. This job is critical for obtaining the latest field mappings for new fields.

You can run the Field Maps Maintenance job as part of the upgrade process when you want to restore changes to the default field mappings back to factory settings.

![Important](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-ind-comms_media_energy_managed-264-0-0-production-enus/ff4079f6-a384-475c-b863-578bbbb0ef9b/images/icon_important.png)

Important

This job deletes any custom field mappings, so before running this job, record any mappings you have added and edited so that you can restore them on the next upgrade of Salesforce Industries Communications after running this job.
