Here, the reader is being referred to another document (or part of the same document) where more detail or information is available.
You might say: more prcise or exact or complete values.

agree  Chris Rowson (X): Exact values or precise values seem good to me, but somehow "detail values" seems a bit odd - or is it just me?

Explanation:
just another possibilitiy; depends on your context -- if the requirements are being described in general terms in the context where 'Detailwerte' occurs, with the particular values being given elsewhere, then 'specific values' ( or 'particulars', which has a bit more of a UK flavour), could be a fit.
