Interfacing non-Lawson activity transactions

Use this procedure to interface activity transactions from a non-Lawson application to Project Accounting.

See KB2218730 in Infor Customer Portal and the Infor Lawson Enterprise Applications User and Administration Library - (On-premises) and select User > Enterprise Financial Management > Enterprise Financial Management Conversion Guide.

  1. Prepare a comma-separated value (CSV) file containing the activity transaction information you want to interface. The file fields must match the order and data type of the fields in the Activity Transaction Relation ACTRANSREL (UNIX/Windows) or DBACTRR (IBMi) file.
  2. Transfer the CSV file to the server where your environment resides.
  3. Use the Import command to load the transactions from the CSV file into the Activity Transaction Relation ACTRANSREL (UNIX/Windows) or DBACTRR (IBMi) file.
    See Lawson Administration: Server Setup and Maintenance.
  4. To review or check for errors, run Transaction Interface (AC540) in non-update mode.
    Note: You can post interfaced transactions to General Ledger. On the GL Offset page of Transaction Interface (AC540) select the company, accounting unit, account, and subaccount to which the balancing entry should be posted.
  5. To review or edit records in the interface file, use Transaction Interface Adjustment (AC54.1).
  6. Update the transactions using Transaction Interface (AC540).
