GL62


GL62.1 - AU Attribute Interface Maint

Use GL62.1 (AU Attribute Interface Maint) to display and maintain accounting
unit attribute 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
(importdb productline AUMXCONV filename) to load the accounting unit attribute
file into the AUMXCONV (Accounting Unit  Attribute Conversion) 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 attribute and attribute value in this form with an
Organization Code. The organization code identifies the Lawson company and
accounting unit where the converted attribute information is stored. Use
GL08.1 (Organization Relationship) to define the organization code.

Run GL162 (AU Attribute Interface) to load the accounting unit attribute
information from this form into MX00.1 (Attribute).

Run GL262 (AU Attribute Interface Listing) to list accounting unit attribute
interface records before running GL162.
