What is a List?

Note: You cannot create lists for transaction attributes.

A list is a set of accounting units, accounts, activities, assets, leases, or user analysis. For example, you can create a list that includes any accounting units where the region is Central and the store size is large. Lists can be automatic or manual. Automatic lists can be defined using a combination of user-defined and Lawson-defined attributes.

Your General Ledger company structure should always be designed to reflect your key reporting requirements. Lists provide alternative views of your data that cannot be obtained from the company structure. Attributes and lists provide great flexibility for reporting, but, because they do not use stored balances, the process for creating reports with lists is less efficient.
