What Is a System Code?
A system code identifies an application. There is one pre-defined system code for each Lawson application. You can also define system codes for non-Lawson applications that you want to interface to General Ledger.
Example
| Lawson application | System code |
|---|---|
| Accounts Payable | AP |
| General Ledger | GL |
| Report Writer | RW |
How are System Codes Used?
System codes are used to identify a transaction's system of origin, assign interface controls, and to assign closing date controls. You can use a system code:
-
To limit transaction processing in a subsystem to a date range such as the current period and the next period
-
To narrow the focus of a General Ledger transaction report
-
To update Project Accounting and General Ledger commitments
-
To edit Project Accounting and General Ledger budgets
-
To process Strategic Ledger transactions separately from your daily processing
-
To post transactions, release journal entries, or remove a journal hold code
