What Are Interface Controls?

System codes, which identify the Lawson and non-Lawson systems that generate transactions that post to General Ledger, include interface controls. Interface controls regulate how the journal entries transfer to General Ledger. You define interface controls for each company and system code combination.

Interface controls also let you group like transactions together using the journal book feature. You can assign a default journal book to a system code for transactions that originate from the associated system. You can also choose to ignore an activity or the base zone assigned in the subsystem on all transactions associated with a system.
