Also note the following:

If the value assignment type you want to change contains data by reference , the data for all value assignment instances of this value assignment type is displayed only. To edit this value assignment type, choose with the quick info text Overwrite Reference .

A dialog box appears in which you can choose whether you want to copy the value assignments of the reference to edit them or whether you want to create new value assignments, that is the value assignments of the reference are deleted in this value assignment type. In both cases the data is not updated if you change data in the source specification of the reference.

If a value assignment instance you want to change contains data by inheritance , the data is displayed only. You can change this data only if the inheritance template allows the data to be changed (see Editing Inheritance Templates ). To edit the value assignment instance, choose with the quick info text Overwrite Data .

A dialog box appears in which you can choose whether the inherited data is to be temporarily or permanently overwritten. The inheritance template also controls whether data can be permanently overwritten. If you overwrite data permanently, this data is not updated if you change the corresponding data in the source specification for the inheritance.

In Customizing for Basic Data and Tools you can adapt table-based value assignment on the Value Assignments tab page to your requirements with the Business Add-In (BAdI) Enhancement of Table-Based Value Assignment .

In Customizing for Basic Data and Tools under Specify Value Assignment Types you can specify the sequence of the tab pages in the value assignment screen for each value assignment type. In the same way, in the IMG activity Set Up Table-Based Value Assignment you specify the fields of a value assignment type you want to be displayed as columns in the table on the Value Assignments tab page. It is therefore possible that you cannot enter certain data in a value assignment type because the required tab page was hidden and the table does not contain the required fields.

If you want to edit a value assignment that was already assigned a usage, you must have authorization to edit the usage (authorization object C_SHES_TVH). If you do not have this authorization, the system behavior depends on the value of the environment parameter CHANGE_AUTH_USAGE, which you define in Customizing for Basic Data and Tools under Specify Environment Parameters :

To make it easier for you to navigate between the value assignment types, the application toolbar contains the functions with the quick info text Previous Value Assignment Type and with the quick info text Next Value Assignment Type .
