The Mapping Output Specification step is an output placeholder used inside a mapping sub-transformation.
Use this step to define where the parent transformation can read output rows from the sub-transformation.
You can think of it as a special output step that passes rows back to the parent transformation at runtime.

When to use
Use Mapping Output Specification when your transformation is designed to be executed as a mapping (for example, from the Mapping step or the Simple Mapping (sub-transformation) step).
