3.12 Lookup Table

Lookup Tables are user-defined database tables that are created to hold user data to match Instrument level measures or attributes and thereby deduce a return factor.

The user data is generally matched conditionally with the similar columns of a PBSMCS instrument table and a user specified value is returned that is stored under the return columns of the Lookup table.

A Lookup table by itself is a non executing component of the Profitability application. It is rendered meaning when used inside an allocation rule with the help of a Lookup Table Driver.
