GL61.1 - Acct Unit Interface Maint

Use GL61.1 (Acct Unit Interface Maint) to display and maintain an accounting
unit for the company structure you are converting from a non-Lawson
environment (a spreadsheet for example) to the Lawson General Ledger system.
This form is used to verify your information transferred to the Lawson system
correctly. Before you can convert accounting units to the General Ledger
system, you must define a company in GL10.1 (Company).

To transfer the non-Lawson file to the target machine, use a transfer utility
program (such as the winptxfr or ftp command). When you transfer the
non-Lawson file, you rename the file for use in the Lawson system. For
example, if you are transferring from Excel, use

winptxfr -u filename c:\\Data\\Excel\\excelfilename
where filename represents the Lawson file.

To view the information in this form, use an Import command, such as (importdb
productline GLINAMES filename) to load the accounting unit file into the
GLINAMES (General Ledger Interface  Names), where the filename is the name you
assigned when you transferred the file to the Lawson system. After you run the
Import command, use the Next or Previous form actions to display your data.

Run GL161 (Accounting Unit Interface) to load the accounting unit information
from this form into GL20 (Accounting Units - Accounts).

Run GL261 (Acct Unit Interface Listing) to list accounting unit interface
records before running GL161.
