Creating File Storage Extendable Lookup Values

Payload processing requires defining details of file storage locations. These are file system or Object Storage locations where payload files are posted for processing. File storage configuration information is captured as values for the File Storage Configuration (F1-FileStorage) extendable lookup. These records will be referenced by the batch controls that will process the payloads.
