Hello,
Any one knows how we can make dimensions to be mandatory filled in transactions.
This is done in F&O but i don’t know if this functionality is available in business central.
BR
Go to “Dimensions” page and select the dimension you want to do mandatory and then got to the menu Dimension-Account Type Default Dim.
In the list that appears you can set up dimension as mandatory, for instance for table 15 “G/L Account” (this will affect to all entries, but you can have problems with automatic generated entries, for instance, those that are created when a currency exchante adjustment is made).
in Business Central you can put default Dimensions on lot of Master data to assure that your transaction Flow under the right dimension.
you have two options 1" Same code and 2" is Code Mandatory.
Here’s the difference between them:
Same Code
This setting requires that a specific dimension value must always be used for a particular dimension. For example, if you set the dimension “Department” to “Same Code” with the value “Sales,” then every transaction involving that dimension must use “Sales” as the value
Code Mandatory
This setting requires that a dimension must be used, but it allows for any value within that dimension. For instance, if you set the dimension “Department” to “Code Mandatory,” then every transaction must include a value for “Department,” but it can be any valid value within that dimension.
you can assign dimensions on the below Master data tables:
|13|Salesperson/Purchaser|
|14|Location|
|15|G/L Account|
|18|Customer|
|23|Vendor|
|27|Item|
|152|Resource Group|
|156|Resource|
|167|Project|
|270|Bank Account|
|413|IC Partner|
