It is to segment financial reporting entries, as a simple example if you entered the business reporting dimensions on the customer when you load a sales order and invoice it these are passed for financial analysis.

My question is For eg: Take salesorder table dimension field one only there. but while open table three dimension colums is there with values, in form designing also dimension1,dimesion2 and dimesion 3 EDT field is there.

How to do this? how to insert dimension field value seperate? How to Execute?

Please can you explain?

I believe you are talking about AX2009?

Dimensions in AX 2009 are array elements. If you would like to insert or update the dimension, then call in this way: dimension[1], dimension[2], dimension[3] which represents your first, second and third dimensions(Dept, cost center etc…).
