GL00.2 - Define Chart



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 User Analysis Group (SL02.1) 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


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 or require units,
and whether activities defined in Project Accounting (AC) are required.

GL00.7 - System Accounts



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. You must enter a Commitment
Accrual account on the Commitments page.
