GL61.1 - Accounting Unit Interface Maintenance

**Form Purpose
Use Accounting Unit Interface Maintenance (GL61.1) to view and maintain an
accounting unit for the company structure you are converting from a non-Lawson
environment (a spreadsheet for example) to the Lawson General Ledger system.
This form is used to verify your information transferred to the Lawson system
correctly. Before you can convert accounting units to the General Ledger
system, you must define a company in Company (GL10.1).

To transfer the non-Lawson file to the target machine, use a transfer utility
program (such as the winptxfr or ftp command). When you transfer the
non-Lawson file, you rename the file for use in the Lawson system. For
example, if you are transferring from Excel, use

winptxfr -u filename c:\\Data\\Excel\\excelfilename

where filename represents the Lawson file.

To view the information in this form, use an Import command, such as
(importdb productline GLINAMES filename) (UNIX/Windows) or (importdb
productline DBIFGNI filename) (iSeries) to load the accounting unit file into
the GLINAMES (UNIX/Windows) or DBIFGNI (iSeries) (General Ledger Interface
Names), where the filename is the name you assigned when you transferred the
file to the Lawson system. After you run the Import command, use the Next or
Previous form actions to display your data.

Run Accounting Unit Interface (GL161) to load the accounting unit information
from this form into Accounting Units - Accounts (GL20).

Run Acct Unit Interface Listing (GL261) to list accounting unit interface
records before running GL161.
