Using Ledger Balance Configuration

After you create or amend a balance configuration for a business unit / ledger combination, the balances are generated, or updated. This may take a significant time, depending on the volume of your data.

  1. When you run Ledger Balance Configuration (LBC), the Balance Configuration form is displayed.
  2. Specify this information:
    Business Unit Code
    Enter the business unit code to which this balance configuration applies.
    Ledger
    Enter the ledger code A-K to which this balance configuration applies.
  3. The ledger analysis dimensions pertinent to this business unit or ledger are displayed. Check the check box for a dimension to break out the summarized balance amounts by each analysis code in that dimension.
    If required, you can select multiple dimensions, in which case, balances are summarized by every combination of analysis code used in the different dimensions.
    Uwaga: If any of the analysis dimensions include large numbers of different analysis codes used on ledger transactions, it is more efficient to exclude those dimensions from the ledger balances, for example, dimensions used for sequence numbers. In other words, leave each dimension unchecked unless its analysis data is necessarily required for Infor Reporting or other downstream applications.
  4. Specify this information:
    Balance By Journal Type
    Select this option to break out the summarized balances by journal type.
    Exclude 4th Currency
    Select this option to exclude 4th currency amounts from the summarized balances.
    Include Rough
    Select this option to include the amounts on provisional ledger transactions in the summarized balances, in addition to hard posted transactions.
    Include Accounting Date
    Select this option to break out the summarized balances by accounting date. This option increases the amount of data stored and can affect performance and disk space; therefore leave this check box unchecked if you do not need to maintain daily balance movements.
    Start Year
    Specify the first accounting year for which you want balances to be calculated and published. Opening balances are created for balance sheet accounts, and creditor, debtor, and client accounts, using all historic ledger data previous to the year you specify.
  5. Save your changes.
