  Key Concepts: 
  Custom enumeration type is a feature of the Composite Application Framework (CAF) in SAP. It allows users to create their own custom enumeration types, which are used to define a set of values that can be used in an application. This feature is useful for creating custom lists of values that can be used in an application, such as a list of countries or a list of product categories. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To create a custom enumeration type, users must first define the values that will be included in the list. This can be done by entering the values into the “Enumeration Type” field in the CAF application. Once the values have been entered, users can then assign each value to a specific field in the application. For example, if a user wants to create a list of countries, they can assign each country to its own field in the application. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating custom enumeration types, it is important to ensure that all of the values are correctly entered and assigned to their respective fields. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all of the values are unique and do not overlap with any other values in the application.
