  3) Pick up out of the box item 0G3582 as test sample
  4) Run below query to verify 0G3582 is STK item in ITEMORGINFO
  level.
  SELECT * FROM MAXIMO.ITEMORGINFO WHERE ITEMNUM='0G3582';
  SELECT ITEMNUM,ORGID,SITEID,CATEGORY FROM MAXIMO.INVENTORY
  WHERE ITEMNUM='0G3582';

  10) Click Create Template from REQ1017
  Template Description: Req Template
  A System Message will prompt: BMXAA2986I - Template 1022 has
  been created.

  MR#1022 is 1.
  SELECT
