Documentation
Definition
Value displayed externally following value determination or value entry.
The values do not have to be the same as the internal values for the calculation.
Use
When you create a value list, you must create a value ID for each value in the list. It is usually sufficient to create an internal value ID and a description for each value. When displaying the values on the user interface, the SAP R/3 system takes the external value and the description for each value. If you only created internal value IDs when you created a value list, the SAP R/3 system uses the internal IDs as external IDs, and displays them on the interface, together with the descriptions.
By explicitly assigning external value IDs to values in a value list, you can provide an interpretation of value lists. With external value IDs you overwrite the values in a value list, which have corresponding internal value IDs. The SAP R/3 system displays the external value ID, or the text allocated to the external value ID.
Example
One example is a value list that you want to use for high school grades. To display the school grades (A, B... F) with the meaning excellent, very good... does not meet minimum requirements, you can use the value list (1, 2... 5) and specify the meaning of the values as follows:
Internal ID External ID Text
1 F Does not meet minimum requirements
2 D In need of improvement
3 C Satisfactory
4 B Very good
5 A Excellent
