GL01


GL01.1 - System Control

Use GL01.1 (System Control) to define and maintain system interfacing and
closing options for a general ledger company and system code. Interface
controls determine how subsystem journal entries transfer to the General
Ledger system. Closing controls determine whether you must close a subsystem
period before the general ledger period. For example, if you select AP
(Accounts Payable) in the System field, you can only post transactions from
the AP system to the company you select.

You can create as many system control relationships for one company as
necessary.

Note: Before you use this program, you should have run GL105 (System, Source
Code Load) to load Lawson-defined system and source codes.

To link a general ledger company to more than one system code at the same
time, choose the Multiple Entry button to open GL01.2 (System Control).

To define remote site processing information, or to define system codes for
non-Lawson Software applications, choose the Systems button to open GL01.4
(System Codes).

Run GL201 (System Control Listing) to list the system and source code options
defined in this form.

GL01.2 - System Control

Use GL01.2 (System Control) to link a multiple system codes to a general
ledger company and define and maintain options to control system interfacing
and closing.

Interface controls determine how subsystem journal entries transfer to the
General Ledger system. Closing controls determine whether you must close a
subsystem period before the general ledger period. For example, if you select
AP (Accounts Payable) in the System field, you can only post transactions from
the AP system to the company you select.

You can create as many system control relationships for one company as
necessary.

Note: Before you use this program, you should have run GL105 (System, Source
Code Load) to load Lawson-defined system and source codes.

To define additional options for a system code, choose the More button to
open the System Control Options subform.

GL01.4 - System Codes

Use GL01.4 (System Codes) to define remote site processing information or to
define system codes for non-Lawson Software applications. You can also
determine whether commitments are updated and budget amounts are edited for
activities that are transferred to the Activity Management system.

If you work in a multiple machine or multiple database environment, choose
the Remote Site button to open the Remote Site Indicator subform. On each
machine or database that creates subsystem transactions, use the subform to
identify the machine or database you want to transfer general ledger
transactions to. An asterisk (*) displays next to the button if remote site
information is defined.
