BKT-ASSET-TEMPLATE   Alpha 10                                    AM12.1
Template             Key field. A user-defined template
                     identifies  general asset creation
                     parameters that  you can use to quickly
                     add assets with  minimal keying. Using a
                     template lets  you default many data
                     items associated  with a new asset.

                     You can use a template to process quick
                     asset additions in AM20.1 (Quick
                     Addition) and to create assets and asset
                     books from Accounts Payable and Activity
                     Management interface information.
                     Templates are required if you define new
                     assets as a result of transactions
                     interfaced from the Lawson Activity
                     Management or Accounts Payable systems.



BKT-BOOK             Alpha 10                                    AM12.1  AM520
Book                 Key field. This is the book for the
                     template. Books are used by assets for
                     calculating depreciation, replacement
                     cost, and insurance values, and for
                     reporting.


BKT-METHOD           Alpha 10                                    AM12.1
Method               This is the method assigned to the
                     template. Methods are used to calculate
                     depreciation, replacement cost, and
                     insurance values. Standard depreciation
                     methods are predefined. Additional
                     methods can be user-defined for the
                     following kinds of methods: compute
                     statements, annual percent tables, and
                     units of production tables.


BKT-LIFE             Numeric 4                                   AM12.1
Life                 This is the asset life in months.

BKT-CONVENTION       Alpha 2                                     AM12.1
Convention           This is the convention code assigned to
                     the template. This value determines the
                     amount of depreciation to take in the
                     first and last year. Valid values are:

                     Full Month = The asset receives a full
                     month of depreciation during the month
                     it is placed in service. The asset does
                     not receive any depreciation for the
                     month in which it is disposed of.

                     Modified Half Month = If the asset is
                     placed in service during the first half
                     of the month, it receives one full month
                     of depreciation for its first month. In
                     this case, it receives no depreciation
                     for the month in which it is disposed
                     of. If the asset is placed in service
                     during the last half of the month,
                     depreciation calculations begin the
                     following month. In this case, the asset
                     receives a full month during the month
                     in which it is disposed of.

                     Mid Month = The asset receives one-half
                     of one months depreciation for the month
                     in which it is placed in service, and
                     one-half of one months depreciation for
                     the month in which it is disposed of.

                     Next Month = The asset receives one full
                     month of depreciation in the month after
                     it is placed in service and one full
                     month of depreciation in the month it is
                     disposed of.

                     Full Year = The asset receives a full
                     year's depreciation the year it is
                     placed in service and no depreciation
                     the year it is disposed of.

                     Half Year = The asset receives one half
                     of a years depreciation for the first
                     year and the year it is disposed of.

                     Modified Half Year = If the asset is in
                     service before the middle of the year,
                     it receives a full years depreciation
                     during its first year, and no
                     depreciation during the year it is
                     disposed of. If the asset is placed in
                     service after the midpoint of the year,
                     depreciation begins the following year,
                     and the asset receives a full years
                     depreciation during the year it is
                     disposed of.

                     Mid Quarter = The asset receives
                     one-half of one quarters depreciation
                     for the quarter in which it is placed in
                     service, and one-half of one quarters
                     depreciation for the quarter in which it
                     is disposed of.

                     Actual Days = The asset receives
                     depreciation for each day it is in
                     service during the fiscal year,
                     beginning with the in-service date.










                     FM = Full Month
                     HM = Modified Half Month
                     AD = Actual Days
                     HY = Half Year
                     MY = Modified Half Year
                     MQ = Mid Quarter
                     MM = Mid Month
                     FY = Full Year
                     NM = Next Month

BKT-PERSONAL-USE     Alpha 10                                    AM12.1
Personal Use         This is the personal use code assigned
                     to the template. A personal use code
                     defines the personal use options that
                     asset books use to calculate
                     depreciation, tax credits, and annual
                     depreciation limits up to twenty years.


BKT-SALV-PERCENT     Signed 5.2                                  AM12.1
Salvage Percent      This is the salvage value reduction
                     percentage assigned to the template. The
                     salvage value of the asset is reduced by
                     this percentage of the asset cost when
                     depreciation is calculated for the
                     asset.


BKT-BUS-PERCENT      Signed 5.2                                  AM12.1
Business Percent     The business percent usage of the
                     asset. If this value is less than 100
                     percent, the value is used in
                     depreciation calculations.


BKT-TC-TABLE         Alpha 10                                    AM12.1
Tax Credit Table     The tax credit table assigned to the
                     template. A tax credit table defines tax
                     credit percentages and annual tax credit
                     recapture percentages for up to twenty
                     years. Asset books use tax credit tables
                     to calculate tax credits.


BKT-BOOK-STATUS      Alpha 1                                     AM12.1
Book Status          This field identifies whether the book
                     is active or inactive.

                     A = Active
                     I = Inactive

BKT-LIFE-YEARS       Signed 5.2                                  AM12.1
Life Years           The total life value of an asset,
                     expressed in  years. If this field is
                     left blank, the system calculates this
                     value by dividing the Life value by 12.


BKT-INS-METHOD       Alpha 10                                    AM12.1
Insurance Method     The method used to calculate the
                     insurance value of the asset. This must
                     be a valid insurance type method in the
                     Method file.


BKT-RPL-METHOD       Alpha 10                                    AM12.1
Replacement Method   The method used to calculate the
                     replacement cost of the asset. This must
                     be a valid replacement type method in
                     the Method file.


BKT-BOOK-CURRENCY    Derived
Book Currency        The currency assigned to the book.

BKT-ATM-DESC         Derived
