MaterialLookup

The purpose of the MaterialLookup component is to find material in the tracker based on identifiers. The MaterialLookup component are frequently used to translate argument identifiers (human readable, bar codes, RFID and so on) to the internal TraMaID (tracking material id) that is used for identification of tracking material internally in the tracker and between the components of a tracker application. Typical uses of the MaterialLookup component is to generate material move transactions on the basis of external identifiers, or data acquisition transaction on specific materials based on external identifiers.

Consider using the MaterialAttributeLookup component instead of MaterialLookup. MaterialAttributeLookup has more features and may be more intuitive to use.
