hi,

parameter id

A field can be filled with proposed values from SAP memory using a parameter ID.

A user only has authorization for company code 0001. This company code is stored in memory at the beginning of a transaction under the corresponding parameter ID. Fields that refer to the data element are automatically filled with the value 001 in all subsequent screen templates.

default component name

You can assign an English default name to the data element in this field.

Components in BAPI structures that use the data element should have this default name. Using default names unifies the assignment of component names.

change document

This flag is used to create change documents for business objects.

You can create a change document object for a business object. This change document object contains the tables in which the data of the business object is stored. Function modules that are called in the corresponding application programs and that log the changes at runtime can be generated from the change document object.

Logging only takes place if the fields whose contents were changed refer to a data element that was flagged as relevant for the change document.

You can go to the maintenance screen for change documents from the initial screen of the ABAP Workbench with Development -> Other tools -> Change documents

thnks,

HI,

Parameter ID is for calling the standard transaction in program by using Get parameter ID 'TNR'.....

Change document is for maintain F1 help for corresponding data element.

Default Component Name is for using the process in BAOI..
