Simple Valid Values

 

 

Fields using the simple valid values function display a window listing the valid data for the field when you press the F4 key (no sort or pre-selection is available).  You may scroll through the list and select a line to be returned to the screen, view detailed information for a line (if allowed), or exit the window.  The following example illustrates how a simple valid values function works without the detail option. 

You want to perform an inquiry into customer/item relationships in Order Processing in the Customer Item Relationship Inquiry conversation.  The first screen prompts you for a bill-to customer, customer company/location, ship-to customer, and item.  You decide to inquire into the relationships for company/location 001/CHI, but you do not know which customer/item relationships are valid.
