Defining codes and controls

Before you begin processing, you will need to define codes and data that will be used by the General Ledger application. Some of these codes are Lawson-defined, and just need to be loaded into the application. Other codes are more specific to your business and will need to be defined by you. Use these codes to manage and organize information in General Ledger, such as using a hold code to prevent a transaction from posting. This chapter focuses on codes and data that you will need to define or load as part of the setup process, and on methods that you can use to define system controls.
