Interfaces of Cash Management with other Lawson applications

Non-Lawson applications

After you define banks, cash codes, company-cash code relationships, transaction codes, and payment formats, Cash Management lets you receive bank transaction data, including accounts payable cash payments from a non-Lawson application.

General Ledger

Journal lines are created in the General Ledger application for bank account transaction entries and reconciliation adjustments you enter in the Cash Management application.

You run Bank Transaction Posting (CB175) to send journal line transactions to General Ledger Transaction file. Use Journal Posting (GL190) to post these journal entries to the General Ledger account balances. The transaction date determines to which General Ledger period an entry posts. The transaction date is the reconciliation or the void date.

If you do not use General Ledger, then you can post these entries manually to your general ledger based on the report generated on CB175, or you can write a program that can retrieve entries made to the General Ledger Transaction file and create entries in your general ledger application.

See Cash Management transactions.

Accounts Payable

Accounts Payable sends payment records and bank service charges to the Cash Management Payment file. When you create payments on Payment Forms Creation (AP155), Bill of Exchange Printing (AP156), Laser Payment Forms Creation (AP157), Payment Tape Creation (AP160), Electronic Payment Creation (AP161), or release a manual payment on Cash Payment Entry (AP55.1) or Bill of Exchange Entry (AP56.1), the system sends payment records to the Cash Management Payment file.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts Receivable sends deposits, adjustments (service fees, for example), and return to maker (RTM) transactions to the Cash Management Payment file. When you release a cash payment on Cash Header (AR20.1), release a return to maker payment on Returned Payment (AR82.1), resolve a dishonored bill of exchange on Dishonor Resolution (DT92.1), or cash a bill of exchange on Bank Presentation, Cashing Update (DT180), the system sends deposit and adjustment records to the Cash Management Payment file.

Currency

Cash Management uses currency codes and exchange rates defined in Currency.

Franchise Management

Cash Management sends cash codes to franchisers for company bank accounts where prepayments are posted from Franchise Management.

Strategic Ledger

Cash Management enables you to assign user analysis values to bank transactions. A user analysis field is a flexible, user-defined element that stores transaction information to measure profitability. After you release the transaction, Cash Management sends detail lines that include user analysis values to Strategic Ledger for analysis and reporting on organizational profitability.
