List

Note: You cannot create lists for transaction attributes. Multi-Book Ledger can use only accounting unit lists or account lists.

A list is a set of accounting units, accounts, activities, assets, leases, or user analyses. For example, you can create a list that includes any accounting units where the region is Central and the store size is large. Lists can be automatic or manual. Automatic lists can be defined using a combination of user-defined and Lawson-defined attributes.

Lists provide alternative views of your data that cannot be obtained from the company structure. Attributes and lists provide great flexibility for reporting, but, because they do not use stored balances, the process to create reports with lists is less efficient.
