Applying Abakion’s standard template packages lets you set up your Business Central production configuration quickly, using ready-made templates instead of building everything manually. After downloading the template packages, you filter them by area, apply the relevant ones, and the system handles the rest.
You filter on the production area to see only the templates that are ready for production. This keeps the list focused and prevents you from applying templates that belong to other areas.
You only need to apply the normal templates. The sub templates follow automatically, so you do not have to apply them one by one.
Downloading and locating the standard template packages
The starting point is the standard template packages from Abakion, which you download into the system. Once they are in place, you can apply the templates that are relevant for your production setup.
To find them, go to Setup and then open Global Master Template Packages. This is where all the downloaded packages are listed and ready to be applied.
Filtering the templates by production area
Rather than working through the full list of packages, you set a filter on the production area. Once the filter is applied, you only see the templates that are ready for production. This makes it easy to pick out exactly what you need without sorting through templates meant for other parts of the system.
Applying the templates to the system
With the filtered list in front of you, you mark each template you want to use. You only need to apply the normal templates. The sub templates will follow on automatically, so there is no need to handle them separately.
Once all the relevant lines are marked, you apply the selected packages into the system in one step. When the process completes, all templates are applied and your production setup is ready to move on.
