Use range
Do not override values
Make sure no ranges are missed (e.g., 0-100, > 100)
If both contracts and POs are implemented use document

Add parameters that do not change often, such as plant,
company code, account assignment category, item
category, etc.
Why? Because when the parameter changes the release
strategy will have to be modified.
