This feature extends lookup table support to guided sourcing events and enhances the support for lookup tables to enable dynamic look up based on lookup table versions and one-to-many mapping between an input column and terms. This feature also introduces a new administrator interface (Administration > Product Sourcing > Lookup Table) for uploading, downloading, and searching for lookup tables. You can upload multiple versions of a lookup table to the central location and versions of the lookup table are maintained to ensure that the correct version, based on the creation date of the sourcing event, is referenced when using lookups in sourcing events. Additional options are provided in the template configuration to create lookup table mappings.
When a supplier or a buyer user chooses a value for a specific input field, customers want the sourcing application to dynamically set the value in another related field. This today can be done by leveraging the lookup table capability.
Today however customers can't easily update this table. This especially becomes an issue when the values in the table have to be updated frequently.
Ability for customers to dynamically set a value of a dedicated item term based on other related terms in a sourcing event. This table can be updated in a flexible way without impacting the processes or templates.
Customer Admins can centrally store a lookup table which can be updated by customers either by loading it in an Admin page or via API. One lookup table can be mapped to multiple terms within a sourcing template.
