Your quick start

  1. Open item templates in Administration > Master data initialization.
  2. Check existing records, statuses and relationships before creating or changing anything.
  3. Save consciously and control the result in the immediately following process.
  4. When creating an item, a template is assigned.

That's what matters

A template is a starting point, not a replacement for individual testing. Only adopt values ​​that really apply to the new item.
