GL21.1 - Accounting Unit List

Use GL21.1 (Accounting Unit List) to display and activate the accounting
units and associated attribute values that match the list criteria defined in
MX10.1 (List). This program builds the list for system use. If nothing
displays in this form, you report on the attribute detail you identify in
GL20.1 (Accounting Units - Accounts).

You select the company and accounting units in GL21.2 (Manual Accounting Unit
List).

GL21.2 - Manual Accounting Unit List

Use GL21.2 (Manual Accounting Unit List) to define and maintain a manual
accounting unit list. The manual list lets you associate specific accounting
units with the attributes you select in the list. For example, associate a
list with the Accounting Unit (ACCTU) object type to create a report for those
accounting units. The manual list will only report on the accounting units you
define in the manual list.

Choose the Convert to Manual button to convert an automatic list to a manual
list.

Important: You cannot convert a manual list back to an automatic list. To
preserve the automatic list, copy an existing automatic accounting unit list
and then convert the copy to a manual list.

You can use manual accounting unit lists for "what if" analysis, to group
accounting units for reports and inquiries, and for use in dynamic account
generation. You can also create a list of accounting units that you want to
assign the same attribute value to and run MX500 (Attribute Value Population)
to automatically assign the value to all the accounting units in the list.

You cannot rebuild manual lists to account for attribute value changes, you
must change them manually.

Run MX210 (List Listing) to list all accounting unit lists.
