Importing budget line item data

You can import historical data to your budget application from these Lawson applications:

  • General Ledger
  • Project Accounting
  • Lawson Human Resources

Importing historical information, also referred to as actuals, provides base-level data that you can use in your budget application for bottoms-up budgeting, forecasting, and project or activity-based budgeting.

You can import historical information from Lawson to your budget application using budget line item data files in Budget Architect.

This diagram shows how to set up a budget line item data file and import it to your budget application:
