Creating a Reference Entity Root Node

Reference entities are business entities that are associated with lookup base objects. As with a business entity, the first step is to create the root node for the reference entity. In this example, you want to create a reference entity associated with the lookup base object LUCountry in the MDM schema.

Before you begin, create the lookup base object in the MDM Hub Console. To avoid potential case sensitivity issues, ensure that all the codes and values in the lookup base object follow a consistent capitalization strategy. For example, all values start with an uppercase letter or all codes are in uppercase.

On the

Modeling

page, select

Reference Entities

Click

Create

A new root node appears among the reference entities.

In the

Name

field, enter a name for the reference entity.

For example, enter

LUCountry

Avoid the use of spaces in reference entity names.

In the

Label

field, enter a display name for the reference entity.

For example, enter

LUCountry

Optionally, enter a description of the reference entity.

Optionally, enable the

State Management Enabled

check box.

When this check box is enabled, the Repository Manager validation checks that all base objects in the reference entity are enabled for state management, except referenced lookups.

In the

Base Object

field and select a lookup base object from the MDM schema to associate with the reference entity.

For example, select the base object C_LU_COUNTRY.

Click

Apply

The changes are saved but are not published to the MDM Hub.

The following image shows an example of a LUCountry reference entity: A screenshot showing a node called "LUCountry". The properties of the root node display in the node properties panel.
