GL21.1 - Accounting Unit List

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

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

GL21.2 - Manual Accounting Unit List

**Form Purpose
Use Manual Accounting Unit List (GL21.2) to view 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 Attribute Value Population (MX500)
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.
