Predefined Attribute Properties

See Predefined Attributes for Tax Reporting Applications for a list of attribute properties that are created when you register a Tax Reporting application. Note the following about attribute properties:

  • They use the TRCS namespace.
  • They are all at the Node level.
  • They are all string data types, except for FX Rates - Global Account Rate Override and Plug Account, which are node data types.
