                     To allocate units, the Post From and
                     Post To accounts must allow units. You
                     can verify this in GL20.1 (Chart of
                     Accounts).

CAD-ACTIVITY         Alpha 15                                    CA10.1  CA10.6
Activity             The activity associated with the            CA10.7  CA210
                     allocation.

                     Activities are the processes or
                     procedures that produce work. Cost
                     objects (products, services, customers,
                     and so on) are the reasons for
                     performing the activity. Activities and
                     cost object activities are used
                     synonymously in the Lawson Activity
                     Management system. Direct costs are
                     posted to activities, and indirect costs
                     are allocated to activities based on
                     activity drivers.

                     Activities are grouped or organized by
                     activity levels. There are two types of
                     activities: "posting allowed" and
                     "summary only." Use posting level
                     activities to budget and maintain all
                     posted transactions. Summary activities
                     or macro activities combine information
                     and balances from lower level activities
                     for reporting and inquiries.




CAD-ACCT-CATEGORY    Alpha 5                                     CA10.1  CA10.6
Account Category     The account category associated with        CA10.7
                     the allocation.

                     You can associate an account category
                     with the allocation. Account categories
                     store grouped activity transactions for
                     budgeting and reporting.

                     Account categories let you sort and
                     combine incoming amounts into groups for
                     reporting and inquiry on activities.

                     You can tie account categories to
                     general ledger accounts using AC07.1
                     (Account Assignment). You can also
                     streamline your maintenance of changes
                     to general ledger accounts; use AC04.1
                     (GL Code) to define GL codes to
                     represent general ledger accounts.

                     and an error occurs when you run CA110
                     (Allocation Calculation), this account
                     defaults. If this account is invalid,
                     the system uses the company error
                     suspense account.



CAD-PT-SUB-ACCT      Numeric 4                                   CA10.1  CA10.7
Posting-To           The subaccount number amounts are           CA210
Subaccount           allocated to.

                     If you select an override subaccount
                     range and an error occurs when you run
                     CA110 (Allocation Calculation), this
                     subaccount defaults. If this subaccount
                     is invalid, the system uses the company
                     error suspense account.

User Analysis        This field identifies the user analysis

                     or use Define (F6) to open the User
                     Analysis Entry subform. Use this subform
                     to select the user analysis values you
                     want to include in the transaction. If
                     you choose to type values, use commas to
                     separate them. For example:
                     value1,value2,value3,value4

                     There are three conditions that affect
                     how you can select user analysis values.

                     the Strategic Ledger procedures manual
                     for additional information.
