The value mapping itself will be displayed in a table. To maintain the value mapping you have to switch to change mode. Click (Append) to insert new empty lines into the table. After clicking the button you can select the number of lines you want to insert. The first column is always an index; which you cannot edit. In the following column(s) the external values are defined. The last column where values can be inserted is for the internal values. Depending on the data element the input fields are based on you might be provided with an input help.

It is also possible to delete single or multiple lines from the table. To do this select the lines and click (Delete).

If the value mapping was already defined for at least one sending system, you can insert those values into the current value mapping. Therefore, you have to click (Import Value Mappings) . Select the business systems of the value mapping you want to use and click OK. The values are automatically inserted into the current value mapping.

A filter option is available for the value mapping. If you filter for a certain value and click Append, the selected filter values are automatically inserted into the new lines. If Read Only was selected during filtering it is not possible to change those values.

The transaction also provides you with a “where-used function”. This is so that you are able to check where the value mapping is used. If you have the authorization, double-clicking on an entry in the provided list opens a new window and the Customizing where the mapping is used is displayed.

You are also able to copy data from Excel cells. Copy the data you want to insert to the Clipboard. Select the first cell the data is to be inserted into in the value mapping table and press Ctrl+V. The lines are inserted into the value mapping table. If the lines inserted exceed the number of available lines, then additional lines are appended automatically.
