A Domain's Parameter ID and its Default Component Name?

[Former Member]

Can someone tell me what these are used for?

Thank-You

Hi,

From online help ...

Assign a parameter ID:

A field can be filled with default values from SAP memory using a parameter ID. A screen field is only filled automatically with the value stored under the parameter ID of the data element if this was explicitly permitted in the Screen Painter.

Assign a default component name:

You can store a proposal for the name of the table fields or structure components that refer to a data element. If possible, use an English-language default name. Always use this default name for components in BAPI structures (structures with a fixed interface). This results in a more unified assignment of field and component names.

Parameter id is used to set the default values in the user records as well as to hold the last processed objects.

Like for MATNR, you have MAT as the parameter id.. it will save the last accessed material number and when you go in MM03 or other transaction you will have the last material come as by default.

Defualt component name is the name of the field by which this field is know in the BAPI structure.

Say, for MATNR we have MATERIAL for the defualt component. So, whenever you want to updat the MATNR you need to refer the field MATERIAL of the structures.
