Explanation

Proxy systems are unique in SAP Cloud Identity Services because they function as both a source and a target simultaneously - exposing an SCIM API that other systems can read from and write to. This dual role means you must configure transformations in both directions, making read and write transformations available for proxy systems.

Source systems only support read transformations, because their sole role in the provisioning flow is to supply identity data outbound - there is no inbound write path to configure. Target systems only support write transformations, since they receive provisioned data and have no mechanism to expose a read interface within the provisioning pipeline.

Memory tip: Think of the names directionally - Source flows out (read only), Target receives in (write only), and Proxy sits in the middle handling both directions like a two-way relay. If you can provision through it, you need both transformations.
