GL67.1 - Balance Interface Maintenance

Use GL67.1 (Balance Interface Maintenance) to display and maintain period
balance information 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.

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 (import
productline GLMASTREL filename) to load the period balance file into the
GLMASTREL (General Ledger Balance Interface) file, 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.

You must associate the information in this form with an Organization and
Account Code. The  organization code identifies the Lawson company and
accounting unit where the converted information is stored. The account code
identifies the Lawson account and subaccount where converted information is
stored. Use GL08.1 (Organization Relationship) to define the organization code
and GL09.1 (Account Relationship) to define the account code.

Run GL167 (Balance Interface) to load the period balance information from
this form into the GLAMOUNTS (General Ledger Amounts-Period) and the GLCONSOL
(General Ledger Consolidation) files.

Run GL267 (Balance Interface Listing) to list data in the General Ledger
Balance Interface file before running GL167.
