In SAP SuccessFactors People Analytics, a Lookup function is used to retrieve a value from one table based on a matching key from another. The configuration requires defining three components:

1. Lookup Table: The table containing the desired information. Here, it is Fo Pay Grade T, which holds the pay grade details.

2. Lookup Column: The specific column in the Lookup Table whose value you want to retrieve. The requirement is to use the external code, which corresponds to the Code column.

3. Source Column: The column in the primary data source that links to the Lookup Table. Here, it is the Pay Grade column from the employee's record in Emp Job Info T.

This configuration correctly joins the employee's assigned pay grade with its corresponding external code from the foundation object table.

B: Emp Job Info T is the source of the employee data, not the table where you look up foundation object details. The Lookup Table is incorrect.

C: This option incorrectly identifies Emp Job Info T as the Lookup Table. The lookup is performed on the foundation object table, not the employee data table.

D: The requirement is to use the external code. This option incorrectly selects Internal Code as the Lookup Column, which would retrieve the system's internal ID instead.

1. SAP Help Portal, SAP SuccessFactors People Analytics: Implementing and Administering Analytics in SAP SuccessFactors. Document Version: 2H 2023. In the section "Creating a Calculated Column", the description of the "Lookup" function details the roles of the Lookup Table, Lookup Column, and Source Column, which aligns with the logic used in the correct answer. The guide explains that the Lookup Table is the target table for data retrieval (e.g., a foundation object table like Fo Pay Grade T).

2. SAP SuccessFactors People Analytics (THR96) Course Handbook: Unit 5: Creating Stories. The section on "Calculated Columns" and "Lookups" provides examples of retrieving descriptive labels or codes from foundation or MDF object tables (Lookup Table) based on an ID field in a transactional table like Job Information (Source Column). This principle directly supports the configuration in option A.
