MX06.1 - Attribute Value Effective Date Template

**Form purpose
Use Attribute Value Effective Date Template (MX06.1) to define and maintain a
template of accounting unit attribute values with their effective dates. You
can use this type of template to quickly and consistently assign attribute
values and their effective dates to multiple attributes attached to an
accounting unit.

**Process
Choose the New Template button to define a new template name and description.
The template is associated automatically with Object Type ACCTU.

For each template line, select the attribute for which you want to enter a
value, and enter the attribute value and the date on which the value becomes
effective. The value remains effective until another value is entered for a
later effective date. You can have multiple values and effective dates for the
same attribute, but you cannot have multiple values for the same attribute and
effective date.

**More help
You can use this type of template only for the ACCTU attribute object type.
You can use the template on Attributes (GL20.7) or Attribute Value Effective
Date (GL20.8). You can only  include one value for each attribute and
effective date.

If you already have attribute values assigned for the accounting unit and
effective date, the template does not override any attribute values already
defined for the same attribute and effective date. The template is an addition
to any existing attribute values and effective dates.

**Example
Accounting unit 101 for company 4321 already has the following values
assigned for attribute SQFEET:
SQFEET	1200	01012000	
SQFEET	1300	01052000

You apply template SQUAREFT, which contains the following values:
SQFEET	1300	01012000
SQFEET	1400	01102000
SQFEET	1500	02152000

After the template is applied, accounting unit 101 has the following values
assigned for SQFEET:
SQFEET	1200	01012000
SQFEET	1400	01102000
SQFEET	1300	01052000
SQFEET	1500	02152000

(The template value for 01012000 is not replaced.)
