A generic Enumeration is an alternative to a *Type entity when the
need for set of data to track is simple and won't need extra
information attached to it in the future. When those might be the
case, the *Type pattern is a better way to go.

Is there any rules/guidelines that can help to decide whether a set

There could be many examples but I have quickly looked at the data
in EmplPositionType entity. I think this data can also be
maintained in Enumeration model.
Any thoughts ?
