• Key Concepts: 
  Enumerated value is a type of data object in SAP that is used to store a fixed set of values. It is used to represent a single value from a predefined list of values. The list of values can be either numeric or character-based. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Enumerated values are used in the ABAP Runtime Environment (BC-ABA) to define the data type of a field. This allows the system to validate the data entered into the field and ensure that it is valid. The enumerated value can be used in programs, forms, and reports to ensure that only valid values are accepted. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using enumerated values, it is important to ensure that all possible values are included in the list. This will help to ensure that only valid data is accepted by the system. Additionally, it is important to keep the list of values up-to-date as new values may be added over time.
