Entity Property Lookup Method

Entity Property Lookup Method

Prefix: ep:

The Entity Property Lookup Method retrieves a second Entity Instance ("S") and returns the value of a property of this Instance. Which S to retrieve for the given Entity Instance ("I") is controlled by the method value. The syntax of the value has three parts:

• name of the second Entity S
• property name P of the second Entity S to match on
• property of the given Entity I to match with P

Example:

• given Entity I: BusinessPartner
• method: ep:Supplier.accountId:creditorNo
• second Entity S: Supplier
• property P of S: accountId
• property of I to match with P: creditorNo
• Retrieves the Supplier whose accountId equals the creditorNo of the BusinessPartner
