GL61.1 - Accounting Unit Interface Maintenance



Use Accounting Unit Interface Maintenance (GL61.1) to view and
maintain an accounting unit for the company structure 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.
Before you can convert accounting units to the General Ledger
system, you must define a company in Company (GL10.1).
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 (importdb productline GLINAMES filename) (UNIX/Windows)
to load the accounting unit file into the General Ledger Interface
Names file (GLINAMES (UNIX/Windows) or DBIFGNI (System i)),
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.
Run Accounting Unit Interface (GL161) to load the accounting
unit information from this form into Accounting Units - Accounts (GL20).
Run Acct Unit Interface Listing (GL261) to list accounting unit
interface records before running GL161.
