GLN-COMPANY          Numeric 4                                   GL110   GL161
Company              Required. The identifier of the highest     GL20.1
                     level entity throughout all Lawson
                     applications. Must be defined in the
                     GLSYSTEM file.

Accounting Unit      Required. The accounting unit is a
                     shorthand notation representing the
                     variable level number.


GLN-OLD-COMPANY-D    Derived

GLN-VAR-LEVELS       Alpha 30                                    GL120   GL161
Variable Levels      Required field if Lawson General Ledger     GL20.1
                     user. The variable level number is tied
                     directly to the accounting unit. It is
                     used to indicate an accounting unit's
                     position within the company hierarchy,
                     establishing its consolidation
                     relationship with other units.

GLN-PERSON-RESP      Alpha 15  (Lower Case)                      GL161   GL20.1
Person Responsible   This field is used to store a name of a
                     person responsible for an accounting
                     unit. This field is not edited in any
                     way. Used in Lawson's Report Writer.


GLN-ACTIVE-STATUS    Alpha 1                                     GL161   GL20.1
Active Status        Required. This field is used to
                     indicate if an accounting unit is active
                     or inactive. If an accounting unit is
                     inactive, all associated accounts are
                     also inactive and no posting can occur.

                     A = Active
                     I = Inactive

GLN-ACCT-GENERATE    Alpha 1
Generate Account     Indicates if an account is
                     automatically generated against a group
                     of accounting units.

                     accounting units and summary level

                     have a chart of accounts and transaction
                     activity. Summary levels are used to
                     consolidate information from lower level
                     accounting units. Summary levels do not
                     have a chart of accounts, nor do they
                     allow transaction activity. They are
                     created to meet reporting needs.

                     P = Posting
                     S = Summary

GLN-LEVEL-DETAIL     Numeric 15 Occurs 5 Times                   GL120   GL161
Level Detail         Identifies the accounting unit location     GL20.1
                     in the company structure. The value of
                     each variable level determines how the
                     general ledger combines the accounting
                     units.
