A lookup is any predefined value that was not defined in a setup window. Use the Oracle Payables Lookups window to review and maintain sets of values, or lookups, that you use in Payables.
In some fields, you must select a value from a predefined lists of values. Sometimes the values on the list are items you have defined in a setup window, such as supplier names, payment terms, or tax codes. Other predefined sets of values are lookups, which you can view, and in some cases, update, in the Oracle Payables Lookups window.
A lookup category is called a lookup type, and the allowable values for the lookup type are called lookup names. For example, names of invoice types, such as Standard, Prepayment, Debit Memo, and so on, are lookup names for the lookup type of Invoice Type.
You can add lookup names to some lookup types. For lookup types that you can modify, you can define up to 250 lookup names. For example, you can define additional values for Source, which you specify when you import invoices. You cannot change lookup name values after you save them. To remove an obsolete lookup you can disable the code, enter an end date, or change the meaning and description to match a replacement code.
You can view all Payables lookups in the Oracle Payables Lookups window. However, you can't modify most lookups. For example, the Payables application uses lookups that you do not use for data entry, such as lookups that list exceptions in the Exceptions section of the Expense Report Import Report.
