Defining a process level

Note: Define a process level for each accounts receivable account in your general ledger.

You must assign at least one process level to each company. This allows you to default general ledger accounts and gives you inquiry and reporting flexibility. This procedure describes how to define a process level.

  1. Access Process Level (AR02.1).
  2. Define a process level and general ledger accounts to a company. Use these guidelines to specify the field values:
    Process Level

    You must define at least one process level for each company.

    Address, State or Province, Postal code, County, Country, Region

    If left blank, then the information defined for the company in AR01 is set as default.

    Cash Code

    Select the cash code used at this process level. Must be a valid cash code for the company in the Lawson Cash Management application.

    AR, Received Not Applied, Prepayment, and Finance GL Codes, Rounding GL Code

    Select a GL code used at this process level. These codes will be set as default to several forms and can be overridden on those forms.

    Accounting Unit

    (Optional) If populated, then the accounting unit will become the accounting unit for GL distributions associated with this process level during transaction entry and cash application.

    This is dependent on your Category Codes (AR15.4) and Adjustment Reason Codes (AR15.1) being defined to allow Accounting Unit Override.

    Nature of Transaction

    The Nature of Transaction code due for Intrastat processing. This must be a valid code defined in IN07.1 (NOTC Maintenance).

    Status

    Select the status of the process level. You can select (A) Active or (I) Inactive.

  3. If you selected Yes in the BOE field on Customer Group (AR00.1), click BOE to open Bills of Exchange (AR02.2). If you selected No in the Bills of Exchange field, then the BOE button does not appear.
  4. Use this form to enter BOE codes for the process level. Select the BOE acceptance, financial revenue, financial expense, and dishonored codes used at this process level. If left blank, then the codes defined on Company (AR01.1) is set as default.
