Value Set is a collection of values. It validates the values entered by the

user for a flex-field, report parameters or a concurrent.
The navigation path: Application :- Validation :- Sets

Value Set is associated with the following validations which holds the key
to the value sets.
Types of Validations:

1. None :- Validation is minimal.

2. Independent :- The data input is based on previously defined

list of values.

3. Dependent :- The data input is checked against a defined set

of values.

4. Table :- The data input is checked against values in a table.

5. Special :- The data input is checked against a flex-field.

6. Pair :- The data input is checked against two flex-field

specified range of values.

7. Translatable independent :- The data input is checked against

Significance of $FLEX$

$FLEX$: enables to match the prior segment with either value set name
or segment name.
Let v2 be the value set definition of 2nd parameter and v1 be the value
set definition for the first parameter then
In the value set definition of v2 = value $FLEX$.v1
Note:
Changes You Should Never Make
You should never make these types of changes (old value set to new
value set) because you will corrupt your existing key flex-field
