Flat file is one of the major source formats received in ETL process. These files are received mostly from those source systems where Informatica cannot connect to extract data, for ex -mainframes, third party data etc...

To explain it clearly we have to know the concept of using FTP.
Consider a banking project, the product owner gives all data to production team and not to developer, the 3rd party team gives another data in flat files. These team enquire the customers who are eligible for Loans and give the data to developer not directly. They just paste the data in server and by using Winscp, the developer pastes the data into their servers and again load the new data by lookup on target tables!
