Definition

Here you can determine the way in which the values of a characteristic are specified.

Use

You use this dropdown box to specify the types of values a characteristic can take. The options are the following:

Explicit values

You have to enter these values directly in the SATTR transaction. They are part of the definition of the characteristic. The order in which they are entered is relevant for determining the effective values in the case of single-valued attributes.

Values from a value table

These values are taken from a value table. The name of the table is part of the definition of the characteristic, whereas the values are not. The advantage of getting the values from a value table is the extensibility of the possible values in other software components.

Transport object

Possible values are other objects.

Arbitrary

Arbitrary character strings can be specified.
