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 can be 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:
