What is value domain in SAP MDM - SAP NetWeaver Master Data Management?


SAP Term: value domain

  • Component: MDM

  • Component Name: SAP NetWeaver Master Data Management

  • Description: An enumerated set of valid values for a destination text field or attribute. Value domains exist primarily for lookup fields and text-valued attributes, but can also exist for a non-lookup field in a lookup table or when a non-lookup field has a well-defined set of valid values, such as the two-letter abbreviations for state. A field mapping to a destination with a value domain requires a value mapping.

  • Key Concepts: 
    A value domain is a type of data element in SAP NetWeaver Master Data Management (MDM). It is a set of values that are used to define the characteristics of a particular data element. For example, a value domain might be used to define the type of data that can be stored in a particular field, such as text, numbers, or dates. 
    
    How to use it: 
    Value domains are used to ensure that data is entered in the correct format and that it meets certain criteria. When creating a value domain, you can specify the type of data that can be stored in the field, as well as any other restrictions or requirements. For example, you can specify that only numbers between 0 and 100 can be entered in a particular field. 
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    When creating a value domain, it is important to consider how it will be used. Think about what types of data will be stored in the field and what restrictions should be placed on it. This will help ensure that the data is entered correctly and meets all requirements.
