How Are Transactions from Other Applications Posted?
Note: Journal entries from other applications are interfaced
to General Ledger with a status of Released.
Transactions in Lawson applications, such as Accounts Payable, create journal entries to record activity, such as paying invoices. You interface those journal entries to General Ledger using programs in each application. The interface program also creates intercompany balancing entries if applicable. After the journal entries are in General Ledger, you must post them to update account balances. These account balances can be used for reporting and analysis.
Other applications create journal entry header records based on the values in the following fields:
-
Company
-
System Code
-
Posting Date
-
Run Date
-
Run Time
-
Program of Origin
-
Base Zone
-
Journal Book
-
Document Number (only if using Journal by Document)
-
