AM12.1 - Addition Template
**Form Purpose
Use Addition Template (AM12.1) to create a template of default asset
information that you can use to add an asset quickly with Quick Addition
(AM20.1) or to add assets interfaced from the Accounts Payable or Activity
applications. If you plan to interface assets from the Accounts Payable or
Activity applications, you must define at least one template.
**More Information
The template is designed to give you maximum flexibility, which is why so
many fields are optional. When you define templates, you must balance two
somewhat opposing needs:
- Minimize the amount of typing needed when you add or interface a new asset
using the template, and
- Make the template generic enough that you can reuse it for a variety of
assets.
**More help
You can leave the Company field blank and therefore potentially use the same
template for several companies that use the same type name and book. However,
be aware that, without a company, the system cannot verify that the type and
the book you choose are valid together. For example, you may enter type BUILD,
a valid type for companies 11, 12, and 13, and the system will let you enter
any book in the system, without verifying that a book calendar exists for the
same companies for which the type is valid. On the other hand, if you enter a
company, the system will let you select only those types and books that are
valid for the company.
To generate a report of addition templates and their parameters, run Addition
Template Listing (AM212).
