AP & AR - Methods of payment

Finance and Operations/AX User Forum

Hi,

I have some trouble with the methods of payment setup. I setup an electronic method of payment and ticked all checkboxes in the dimension control tab. I hoped that those checkboxes would allow me to transfer dimension values that were entered with the invoice to the payment journal.

Example: I entered an invoice (dr: expense, cr: accounts payable) with a department 060 and want to post the payment of that invoice (dr: accounts payable, cr: bank account) with the same department value 060.

Unfortunately, the transfer does not work and I am not sure whether this is a bug or whether I made a mistake.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Ludwig

Check that there are dimensions in the output file format of the chosen export file format. Also there is only one tick box on the dimension tab - “dimension control” what others do you have? Any modifications in this area?

Hi Adam,

  1. The output file does not include any dimension irrespective of whether I enter a dimension in the AP payment journal lines window or not. I believe that’s a standard functionality, which should be ok

  2. There were actually 4 checkboxes in my application: dimension control, department, cost centre and purpose. The last 3 checkboxes seem to depend on the Norwegian configuration key, so I selected only the first checkbox ‘dimension control’

  3. Despite the fact that I selected the dimension control checkbox, Dynamics AX does not transfer the dimension values from the settlement / open transaction editing window into the AP payment journal lines window. That seems wired to me, as I can identify the dimension values entered on the invoice in the settlement / open transaction editing window.

  4. No adjustments were made in this area. I am using the contoso ceu / cee applications.

Hope you can help.

Thanks.

Hi Ludwig,

You need to tick the ‘Enable Norway’ checkbox on the Other tab of the Company Information form in the Basic Module for that functionality to work.
