GL167


GL167 - Balance Interface

**Form Purpose
Run Balance Interface (GL167) to import the balance interface file for use in
the Lawson system.

**Processing Effect
During the conversion process, all records are edited for errors. When a
record is moved from the General Ledger Balance Interface (GLMASTREL)
(UNIX/Windows) or (DBGLGMR) (iSeries) file to the General Ledger Amounts
(GLAMOUNTS) (UNIX/Windows) or (DBGLGAM) (iSeries) file, the interface file is
deleted, unless errors are found. Non-base currency balances of all types
(transaction, amount, report currency 1 or report currency 2) are moved to the
CUAMOUNT (UNIX/Windows) or DBGLCAM (iSeries) file.

Once the program is run successfully in update mode, all periods, up to (but
not including) the last period, that contain account balance amounts, will be
changed to a Limited Closed status.

**Troubleshooting
Use GL67.1 to correct errors and rerun this program.

**More Information
Run Balance Interface Listing (GL267) to list data in the General Ledger
Balance Interface file before running GL167.
