This file holds the Business partner attribute templates, together with the user-defined field definitions and validation rules. Click Template fields to maintain or view the field definitions.
You can create as many templates as you want, each containing up to 10 field definitions. Up to nine templates can be assigned a default sequence number which controls the default loading of the template (and consequently the associated search fields) when the user accesses Attribute search mode to search for items.

Work with BP attribute templates (GDMD82604)
On this panel you create a new or change an existing attribute template.
Function keys
Validation table maintenance | Access the BP attribute validation table where you can view/add field values that are valid for alpha-numeric template fields. When you connect a Business partner attribute template to a Business partner in the Business partner file, (and the end-user ultimately uses Attribute search mode to look up business partners), only the field values held in the assigned Validation table code will be valid for entry/selection. |
- Template
- Enter a code to identify the attribute template you are creating.
- Default sequence
- Enter the sequence number to dictate the order in which the template should be loaded when the user accesses Attribute search mode. The template with the default sequence equal to 1 will be loaded by default and the associated user-defined template fields displayed. If the user switches to any other Business partner attribute template, the user-defined template fields will change accordingly. Note: The last displayed/used Business partner attribute template will load (in the same session) the next time the user accesses Attribute search mode.
Note: Defining a default sequence for Attribute templates will also allow you to utilize the Sequential add function key when connecting your Business partner attribute templates and subsequently defining the fields values in the Business partner file.
