                         Distribution Interface

The Distribution Conversion file is used by the Invoice Interface program to
convert or interface invoice distribution records to the Lawson Accounts
Payable system. When you run AP520 (Invoice Interface), the system reads
records in this file for conversion or interface into the Invoice Distribution
file. When Distribution Interface records and associated Invoice Interface
records are successfully converted or interfaced, distribution interface
records are purged from this file. You can use AP52.3 (Distribution Interface)
to add  records to the interface file or maintain records already loaded into
the file before conversion or interface to the Lawson Accounts Payable system.

Element: User Analysis This field identifies the user analysis
                       values included in the transaction.

                       You can either type up to four values
                       or use Define (F6) to open the User
                       Analysis Entry subform. Use this subform
                       to select the user analysis values you
                       want to include in the transaction. If
                       you choose to type values, use commas to
                       separate them. For example:
                       value1,value2,value3,value4

                       There are three conditions that affect
                       how you can select user analysis values.
                       See the User Analysis Entry form help or
                       the Strategic Ledger procedures manual
                       for additional information.
