Linked dimensions

By using Linked Dimensions, it is possible to link several dimensions to one main dimension. The upside of this functionality is that when posting, only one dimension has to be entered and the other, linked dimensions will be added automatically by the system.

Setup

  1. Choose the search icon, enter Dimensions
  2. On the Main Dimension select No. of Linked Dimensions. Select the dimension you want to link to the Main Dimension in the Linked Dimension Code. You can link more than one dimensions to the Main Dimension.
  3. Choose the Linked Dimension Matrix Action.
    You can add a value in the column of your Linked Dimension.

Example : When entering a Department code, the linked Project code will also be inserted as a dimension value.

Note

Hierarchies of dimensions can be setup using the linked dimensions. In that case the Main Dimension should be interpreted as the most detailed dimension, which will automatically add the higher level dimension values in documents, journals and even on master date. You can link as many as you want to the MAIN dimension.

Execution

  1. Choose the search icon, enter Sales Order Line
  2. Enter the Dimension Value that is the Main Dimension
  3. The Linked Dimension Value is showing up automatically
Note

This feature is working on any kind of journal template.
