Manual Accounting Unit List (GL21.2)

Use Manual Accounting Unit List (GL21.2) to view and maintain a manual accounting unit list. The manual list lets you associate specific accounting units with the attributes you select in the list. For example, associate a list with the Accounting Unit (ACCTU) object type to create a report for those accounting units. The manual list will only report on the accounting units you define in the manual list.

Click the Convert to Manual button to convert an automatic list to a manual list.

Note: You cannot convert a manual list back to an automatic list. To preserve the automatic list, copy an existing automatic accounting unit list and then convert the copy to a manual list.

You can use manual accounting unit lists for "what if" analysis, to group accounting units for reports and inquiries, and for use in dynamic account generation. You can also create a list of accounting units that you want to assign the same attribute value to and run Attribute Value Population (MX500) to automatically assign the value to all the accounting units in the list.

You cannot rebuild manual lists to account for attribute value changes, you must change them manually.
