Lookup tables

Lookup tables provide a way of storing highly used, constant data that needs to be looked up by the users many times. Like a catalog or a hierarchy, lookup tables are also driven by Specs for data modelling.

Lookup tables are provided to enhance the content management functions available in IBM® Product Master. You can use the tables to create standard tables, for example units of measure (UOM, unit of measure), currencies, or countries. You can create custom replacements tables, for example, BK = Black and BL = Blue.

The creation and management of lookup table records is similar to standard item creation and management. The set of tools available to manage lookup tables, include bulk operations such as add, edit, and search.
