How Multi-Book Ledger interfaces with other Lawson applications
The Multi-Book Ledger application interfaces with the Lawson General Ledger, Report Writer, and Attribute Matrix applications, and other non-Lawson applications. You cannot currently interface other Lawson applications directly to Multi-Book Ledger, but you can download transaction files from a Lawson application through a custom interface, and interface the transaction interface file to Multi-Book Ledger.
This figure shows the interaction between Multi-Book Ledger and the other Lawson applications.
This table provides additional details.
| General Ledger |
General Ledger provides the underlying company and accounting structure for Multi-Book Ledger. It also holds all the non-ledger data that the General Ledger company and the ledger company share. Multi-Book Ledger companies use the company structure and chart of accounts defined in General Ledger to retrieve data from General Ledger for generating ledger financial reports. |
| Attribute Matrix |
Attribute Matrix defines and validates the attributes and attribute lists used in Multi-Book Ledger reports. Multi-Book Ledger retrieves transactions attributes from Attribute Matrix and assigns them values. Multi-Book Ledger also uses accounting unit attribute lists to set up reporting criteria. |
| Report Writer | Report Writer retrieves data from Multi-Book Ledger and General Ledger to produce customized ledger reports. |
| Non-Lawson | Non-Lawson applications can interface transaction and balances to Multi-Book Ledger through Lawson interface programs. |
