Template Management

Template Detail

The Template Detail page shows general information about an existing template or a template you just created. All fields can be updated except for the Organization and the Accounting Set. Templates belong to organizations. Once a template has been created in a particular organization, it cannot be moved to another Organization. However, you can copy the template from one organization to another.

Templates have accounting sets associated with them. Accounting Sets are groups of cost or account codes. When a template is created, the accounting set associated with the "copied from" template is assigned to the newly created template. Accounting Sets must be set up initially by Hyphen Solutions.

If you no longer want to use the template, choose Closed from the Status drop-down list. You can view templates in Closed status, but you must change the status back to Active if you want to update any template information.

If any of the fields mentioned in the steps below do not appear on your screen, that means that your organization is not using that feature of BuildPro. For any questions about this feature, contact your BuildPro administrator.
