      <Paragraph>In Infor ERP LN 6.1 FP3, the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/domains/gld.blpl#earnings" role="option">Source of Earnings</GUIRef> balancing method is added. If you select this method in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/gld/tfgld0103s000" role="session">Company Parameters (tfgld0103s000)</GUIRef> session, each Profit and Loss account is individually
		cleared against the related Source of Earnings account. At the same time, the
		Source of Earnings accounts are cleared against the Retained Earnings account.
		You can use this method to view the composition of the total profit for the
		year, for example, what percentage of the total profit is from operating
		profit, extraordinary profit, and so on.</Paragraph>
