Account edits

You can define account edits by activity group to validate General Ledger and activity information during transaction entry. These are the available levels of validation:

  • 1 — GL Only Activity Group

  • 2 — No assignment required

  • 3 — Yes, substitute error suspense (posts the activity transaction to the Error Suspense account category if the combination is invalid)

  • 4 — Yes, require valid assignment (prevents data entry if the combination is invalid)

The account edits that involve General Ledger information are useful when you want to ensure that project or activity data gets posted to specific General Ledger company(s), accounting unit(s) and account/sub-account(s).

Note: GL Account Edits are applied when activity-related transactions are entered in any Lawson application.
