Where can I use attributes?

An object type is a label that identifies the specific application and process in which an attribute can be used. Each attribute must be associated with at least one object type. When you select an attribute from within an application, only the attributes that have been assigned the appropriate object type for that application and process will display. Object types are Lawson-defined.

Note: Ignore these object types: AMBKS, AMITM, APVND, ICLOC, ICITM, and POBUY. These object types are used only by Lawson-defined data mart attributes and cannot be assigned by users.
Note: An attribute can be used with more than one object type.
