I am creating income statement business unit wise. So in AX 2012, I have created business unit as dimension and attach the same to Chart of Accounts from “Configure Account Structure.”
Now for few GL I want to add few more dimension combination like ‘Purpose’, ‘Vehicle Code’ etc along with Business unit.
Now when I did the same through ‘Configure Account Structure’ it didn’t work and still takes only business unit as mandatory dimension.!
Basically, AX has the option of defining a rules for Account Structure (COA), In ur case based on the requirement you can split COA and attach different dimensions to that. I hope this will solve your purpose.
For defing a rule:- Configure COA >>select Configure COA >> Edit >> select Main Account Filter icon and select Specify Which Values are Allowed … give the range of account for whcih you want the other dimensions to reflect…
