What You Should Know About the GIA Keyword

The GIA keyword (data item GIKW) consists of text that, along with the company profile, identifies the GIA record. You associate a GIA keyword with a company profile when you generate a GIA or when you manually create a GIA. The system uses the combination of the GIA keyword and company profile as the identifier for the GIA.

You cannot change a GIA keyword. If the GIA must have a different GIA keyword, you must purge the GIA that is assigned an incorrect GIA keyword, regenerate the GIA, and ten assign it the correct keyword.

Consider using a specific naming convention for the GIA keywords to make GIAs easier to identify. For example, you might use 1 for the first reporting period, 2 for the second reporting period, and so on.
