Defining the chart of accounts is the first step in defining information in
the General Ledger system.

GL00.2 - Define Chart

**Form Purpose
Use Define Chart (GL00.2) to define a name that identifies the chart of
accounts, a description of the chart, and select a user analysis group to
attach to the chart. You can only delete a chart of accounts if it is not
assigned to a company.

A user analysis group is defined in SL02.1 (User Analysis Group) and is a
combination of up to four user analyses. A user analysis is a flexible,
user-defined element, much like an accounting unit, account, or attribute that
stores additional transaction information you can use for reports and
analysis. You can use a user analysis in all subsystems that report and post
data to the General Ledger system. You can assign a user analysis group to
more than one chart.

GL00.3 - Detail Accounts

**Form Purpose
Use Detail Accounts (GL00.3) to define and maintain the detail accounts
contained within a summary account. Summary accounts are used as headings and
determine how detail accounts are totaled or rolled up. Detail accounts are
used to post journal entries and store general ledger information.

For each detail account, you determine the account status (Active or
Inactive), how transactions are summarized, whether to allow units, and
whether activities defined in the Activity Management system are required.

**Form Purpose
Use System Accounts (GL00.7) to select the detail accounts used to post
retained earnings, undistributed retained earnings, error suspense,
translation gain and loss transactions, and report currency transaction gain
and loss transactions. The detail accounts must already be defined in the
chart of accounts. Lawson recommends that you do not use system accounts for
any other process other than retained and undistributed retained earnings,
error suspense, and translation gain and loss.

Each company must have at least one retained earnings, undistributed retained
earnings, and error suspense accounts.
