MX05.1 - Attribute Template

Use MX05.1 (Attribute Template) to define and maintain an attribute template.
A template is a user-defined group of attribute values for an object type. You
can use a template to quickly and consistently assign attribute values in
GL20.1 (Accounting  Units - Accounts), AC13.1 (Activity Attributes), AM23.1
(Asset Attributes), and SL00.1 (User Analysis Values). You associate each
template with one object type. You can only include one value for each
attribute.

If you change an attribute that is assigned to a template, GL20.1, AC13.1,
AM23.1, and SL00.1 are NOT automatically updated. You must re-apply the
template.

If you already have attributes assigned, the template does not override any
previously defined attribute values. The template is an addition to any
existing attributes.

Choose the New Template button to define a new template name, a description of
the template, and associate the template with an object type.

Run MX205 (Template Listing) to the templates defined for a specific object
type.
