User Analysis Value Relations (SL02.1)

Use User Analysis Value Relations (SL02.1) to define and maintain user analysis value relations. A user analysis relation is a mechanism used to define the valid user analysis value combinations that are available in transactions for a specific general ledger detail or summary account.

More Information

You assign a user analysis relation to a detail account in GL00.4 (Account Information) and a summary account in GL00.5 (Summary Account Options).

Click the New Relation button to open SL02.2 (User Analysis Relation). Use this subform to define a name that identifies the relation, type a description of the relation, and select a user analysis group.

If you want to select any user analysis value in a transaction, only assign a user analysis group to accounts in GL00.2 (Define Chart).

For example, in SL00.1 (User Analysis Values) you define two user analyses: User Analysis A and User Analysis B. Each contains the following values and classes. Note: The user analysis values must be active.


	Values	Class
User Analysis A	Milk	001
	Butter	002
	Eggs	003
User Analysis B	Truck	004
	Driver	005
	Miles	006

Note: If you only want to use a value for User Analysis B, use the blank value in User Analysis A. (See SL00.3 (Blank User Analysis Value) for additional information.)

In SL01.1 (User Analysis Group) you combine User Analysis A and User Analysis B into User Analysis Group AB.

Use SL02.1 to assign user analysis group AB with a user analysis relation. When you select User Analysis Group AB, User Analysis A displays above Class1 and User Analysis B displays above Class2. In the ClassX column, you select the classes associated with the user analysis values you defined in SL00.1 you want to use a valid values for the account. For example:


User Analysis A Class1	User Analysis B (theses display) Class 2 (fixed)
001	004
001	005
002	004
002	006

Note: You can assign classes more than once to create as many relations as necessary.

If you assigned the same class to multiple user analysis values, all the values included in the class are valid in the relation.

The relation is used as the validation mechanism in the User Analysis Entry subform. If you select Milk (Class 001) in the User Analysis Value field for user analysis A, you can ONLY select Truck (Class 004) or Driver (Class 005) for user analysis B because of the relation you define in this form. (Note: You access the User Analysis Entry subform by using the Define (F6) feature in the User Analysis field in any Lawson account code.)

Also, if you select Butter in the User Analysis Value field for user analysis A, you can only select Truck (Class 004) or Miles (Class 006) for user analysis B.
