Types of attributes

With Attribute Matrix, you can view your user analyses in a variety of ways, providing more information and more flexibility in reporting. There are two types of attributes:

  1. User analysis attributes

    This type of attribute lets you group user analyses based on common characteristics, such as clothing categorized by price range and product quality. Attributes are Lawson-defined or user-defined. Because user analyses do not have a hierarchical structure, you can use Attribute Matrix to define lists and views to organize user analyses within the Strategic Ledger data mart.

  2. Transaction attributes

    This type of attribute stores additional information from a subsystem in a transaction, such as attaching an invoice vendor number and invoice batch number to an invoice distribution journal entry. Transaction attributes are treated differently from other attributes.
