AM94.1 - Attribute Conversion Adjustment

This program lets you convert non-Lawson attributes to attributes in the
LAWSON INSIGHT Asset Management system. You can convert attributes when you
add new assets or attach attributes to existing assets. The attribute portion
of the conversion does not need to be run at the same time as the new asset
conversion, because the conversion number is saved whenever new assets are
converted. Edits on the Conversion Number field prevent users from using
duplicate conversion numbers and duplicating assets. You can purge saved
conversion numbers in AM300 (Historical Purge).

This program is not intended for adding attributes to assets that have not
been entered through the conversion process.
