FB65.1 - Budget Interface Maintenance

Use FB65.1 (Budget Interface Maintenance) to display and maintain budgets you
are converting from your existing non-Lawson system (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.csv
where filename represents the Lawson file.

To view the information in this form, use an Import command, such as (importdb
productline FBUDGETREL filename), to load the non-Lawson file into the
Budgeting Interface (FBUDGETREL) file, where 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 information in this form with an Organization and
Account Code. The  organization code identifies the Lawson company and
accounting unit where the converted information is stored. The account code
identifies the Lawson account and subaccount where converted information is
stored. Use GL08.1 (Organization Relationship) to define the organization code
and GL09.1 (Account Relationship) to define the account code.

Run FB165 (Budget Interface) to load the budget information from this form for
use in FB20 (Budget Entry).

Run FB265 (Budget Interface Listing) to list budget records before running
SL160.
