Defining transaction attributes

Transaction attributes provide you with additional reporting capabilities and allow you to define reports in Strategic Ledger with subsystem specific information in them. This procedure describes only items that are unique to defining transaction attributes. See Setting up Attribute Matrix and views.

  1. Access Attribute (MX00.1).
  2. Define a transaction attribute. Use these guidelines to specify the field values:
    Attribute

    Specify or select a name that identifies the attribute that you want to define or maintain.

    Column Heading

    Specify a label to be used in reports. This label cannot exceed the element name field size.

    Element

    Select a Lawson-defined element.

    From and Thru Values

    Specify the values that you want to include in the attribute. Defining values ensures consistency for data entry. If you do not define values, then any entry valid for the attribute's data type and size will be accepted.

  3. Add the attribute by choosing the Add form action.
