Renaming line item report files

When you import and export budget data, the names of the file that you export are determined by the names that you give the line item report definitions. For example, if your export dimension line item report name is AU-ACCT-EXPORT, then the budget line item export file name is AU-ACCT-EXPORT.ASC. Budget line item file names must not contain spaces or special characters.

  1. Click Options on Budget Architect (EB10.1).
  2. Click Line Item Rpts. The Line Item Report File Name (EB19.3) form is displayed.
  3. Specify the new file name to be associated with each dimension. By default, the dimension names are used with the ASC extension.
    Note: You must use unique line item data file names. If you have multiple budgets in Budget Architect and you do not use unique file names across budgets, then transferring budget line item files to and from the Lawson server can overwrite files with the same names.
