Running an Income Statement (GL293)

Use this program to generate an income statement for your company. This program lets you create an income statement in base currency, report currency one, and report currency two. It does not let you create a balance sheet in transaction currency.

Note: You can also use Lawson Report Writer to create customized financial statements.
  1. Access Income Statement (GL293).

    Use these guidelines to specify the field values:

    Company / Company Group

    You must select a company or company group. You cannot select both.

    Accounting Units

    You can select up to six accounting units to report on. If you leave these fields blank, then the report includes all accounting units for the company or company group.

    Note: If you select accounting units and a company group, then all the accounting units must be valid for all the companies in the company group.
    Year Code / Year / Period

    • You can select a year code to report on the current, last, or next year. If you select a year code, then the Year field must be blank.

    • If you do not select a year code, then you must specify a year in the Year field.

    • If the year code or year is not the current period, then you must specify the period for the report. If the year code is Next Year, then the period must be 1. If the year code or year is current, then the current period becomes the default value, but can be overridden.
