Loading Lawson-Defined Attributes	You must load the Lawson-defined attributes and elements before you can define attributes. See Loading Lawson-defined attributes (SCM/FIN).
Defining Attributes	You can define an attribute, which is a field that holds information that you can use to group records for reporting, inquiry, and processing. See Defining attributes.
Assigning Attribute Values to an Accounting Unit	When you assign attributes to an accounting unit, you can view your organization from different perspectives without actually changing your company structure. See Assigning Attribute Values to an Accounting Unit.
