Adding new levels to AU Hierarchy

To include 2 more levels to your existing accounting unit heirarchy you would have to devise a new accounting unit heirarchy. We use a smart numbering system.

Once this is complete on gl20 you can enter against each accounting unit on the levels tab the new accounting unit level at each level for each accounting unit and then run GL120 for level reorganization. There are certain options with which you can run Gl120. ALl the options will need to be explored before you choose which option to run.

To play devil's advocate to make sure you have the best solution for you. Have you explored the use of attributes in place of adding to the structure. This might allow you to report on the detail levels without changing the entire structure. Reporting wise you would have more work as the you would have to include this in your reports if attributes are not utilized today.

Are you sure you need all five levels, I know most of the places I have worked there are ever changing needs to reporting. I would hate to utilize all five levels for one structure and two years from now with a change of direction in management view have to redo the whole thing again.

As Ruma said, you can do this by creating the new summary level AU's then assign the posting AU's to it and run the reorg. Testing here is key to make sure all comes out the way you are looking for.

I completely concur with mark. You can use attributes to report off the existing accounting unit levels if you are trying to satisfy only reporting needs and using RW100 as the tool.

But if you are trying to run reports directly from Lawson such as GL291, GL292 and GL293 changing the accounting unit levels will defnitely help.
