Hi Sami

It depends on which system you are looking at making up the lookup into. If you want to lookup some values in your sender system, then pass the sender else pass the receiver. Most probably it is the sender, but sometimes when you have mutliple business systems then your receiver can also become a lookup system.

Hi,

1)what is lookups

Lookups are used to identify / request the data from mapping , i mean interupting the process and looking for data which was stored in some where and get that data and comback to process and continue with that data.

2.why we can use for lookups.

We will use these type of lookups in Message mapping for refering DB Lookup for data base which is not SAP, RFC lookups for SAP data

How we have to create the lookups?

Check this weblogs with some screenshots on how to achieve this:

Hi,

Well i've checked various weblogs on lookups and noticed that most of the lookups are used to get the data from recieving systems. so thought to check whether lookups are used for recieving system only?

Sami.
