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

The following parameter IDs are the sample values which SAP will store in memory:

[Parameter ID] = AFP (Chart of depreciation) / [Parameter value] = your chart of depreciation
[Parameter ID] = BUK (Company code) / [Parameter value] = your Company code
[Parameter ID] = CAC (Controlling area) / [Parameter value] = your Controlling area
[Parameter ID] = FIK (FM area) / [Parameter value] = your FM
[Parameter ID] = FWS (Currency unit) / [Parameter value] = your default Currency
[Parameter ID] = GSB (Business Area) / [Parameter value] = your BA
[Parameter ID] = KPL (Chart of accounts) / [Parameter value] = your COA
[Parameter ID] = PRC (Profit Center) / Parameter value] = your PC
[Parameter ID] = WRK (Plant) / [Parameter value] = your Plant

For example scenario, you 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.

A field in the screen template is only filled automatically with the value stored under the parameter ID of the data element if this was explicitly permitted in the Screen Painter.
