Configuring Custom Lookup Data

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to configure custom lookup data through manual data entry and through uploads

Loading Data into Custom Lookup Pick Lists

Establishing the shell of a Custom Lookup marks the initial stage in making it operational. When that’s completed, you must configure the data within the tables so that the application has a reference when searching for rate values.

There are two options for populating the data: manually through the user interface or in bulk using a standard upload connector.

For manual entry, each record is inputted through a single row, and every cell must contain a valid value; no blank cells are permitted within a single record.

Alternatively, when using standard connectors, a template is employed to standardize data entry. A record is entered via a single row, with segments separated by the chosen delimiter.

Load Data into a Rates Custom Lookup Pick List

As the SAP Fieldglass administrator for Latinum, you must input a rate into the Custom Lookup Pick List. At this time there is only one rate to add, so you decide to populate the first data line for the Rates Custom Lookup manually.

Load Data into a Rates Components Custom Lookup Pick List

Latinum has negotiated with other suppliers and has added many more rates to the Rates Custom Lookup Pick List.

Now it’s time to populate the Rate Components Custom Lookup data. Because of the number of Rates and Rate Components, it makes sense now to use an upload connector.

As the SAP Fieldglass administrator for Latinum, you will utilize the Advanced Pick List Value Upload to input the data into this table.
