Describing Fixed values for Domains
We can assign some fixed values for data types and length, to a domain. These fixed values are helpful in providing some input checks for the fields on a screen.
The fixed values can also be used as the source of the input help (F4) for the fields. These values can be created by defining either single values or the lower and upper limits of the fields.
Conversion Routines for the Domains
The data that we enter in the SAP system is not stored in the original format in the SAP database, and it needs to be converted into the format compatible with the SAP database. For example, the login time of the FTIME screen stores the data in the HHH: MM format. So, when a user enters a time, let's say 2:45; this value is stored in the SAP databases into integer value such as 165 minutes. However, when we retrieve the data from the system, it displays the data into the original format only. Such tasks of conversion from one format to another are performed by the conversion routines assigned to the domain at the time of domain creation.
