Value Set and Auto Insert Values

If you use Transaction Analysis and Optional Field Creator, the Value Set field appears on screens where optional fields are used, and indicates whether a default value is specified for a selected optional field.

Select this option if the optional field has a default value. If the optional field is validated, you can specify only values that are specified for the optional field in Common Services.

The following table explains the relationship between the Value Set and Auto Insert fields.
