Managing reference data with reference data sets

You define reference data sets to manage reference data. An example of a reference data set is "Countries," which is used to list the countries in which customers reside or business partners operate. You store the data values for each property in the reference data set.

Before you begin

Create a data type upon which to base the data set. See Creating reference data types for sets.

1. Create the reference data set. See Creating reference data sets.
2. Create one or more reference values for the data set. See Creating reference values.
3. Optional: Create translations for each reference value. See Adding translations to reference values.
4. Optional: Create a hierarchy for the data set. See Reference data set hierarchies.

What to do next

Create mappings between data sets and their reference values. See Relating associated data across reference data sets.
