Uses of attributes (AC/BR/GB)
An object type identifies where you can use an attribute. It is important to associate each attribute with at least one object type. Object types are Lawson-defined. This table lists the object types that are associated with attributes in Project Accounting and Grant Management:
| Object type | For attributes assigned to |
|---|---|
| ACTVY | Activities |
| ACTRN | Activity transactions |
| ACGRP | Activity group |
| ACCAT | Account category (summary or detail) |
| GMGRT | Grants |
Note: You can use an attribute with more than one object type.
You can also associate these additional object types with attributes in other Lawson applications:
