Variable Levels      Required field if Lawson General Ledger     GL161   GL20.1
                     user. The variable level number is tied
                     directly to the accounting unit. It is
                     used to indicate an accounting unit's
                     position within the company hierarchy,
                     establishing its consolidation
                     relationship with other units.

                     indicate if an accounting unit is active
                     or inactive. If an accounting unit is
                     inactive, all associated accounts are
                     also inactive and no posting can occur.

                     A = Active
                     I = Inactive

GLN-ACCT-GENERATE    Alpha 1

                     have a chart of accounts and transaction
                     activity. Summary levels are used to
                     consolidate information from lower level
                     accounting units. Summary levels do not
                     have a chart of accounts, nor do they
                     allow transaction activity. They are
                     created to meet reporting needs.

                     P = Posting
                     S = Summary
