• Key Concepts: 
  Value range integrity is a feature of the ABAP Dictionary in SAP that allows users to define a range of valid values for a field. This ensures that only valid values are entered into the field, preventing data entry errors. The value range can be defined as either a fixed list of values or as a range of values. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use value range integrity, users must first define the value range in the ABAP Dictionary. This can be done by selecting the field and then selecting “Value Range” from the menu. The user can then enter the valid values or ranges of values for the field. Once this is done, any data entered into the field must match one of the valid values or ranges in order to be accepted. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When defining a value range, it is important to consider how it will affect existing data. If existing data does not match the new value range, it will be rejected when entered into the field. Therefore, it is important to consider how this will affect existing data before defining a value range.
