Impact of Blocked Dimension Code on Sales Credit Memo Posting

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by Jainam M. Kothari 12,929 Super User 2025 Season 2

Hello Experts,

While posting a Sales Invoice, the Dimension – Division Code used was "A", which is now blocked in the system.

I am planning to post a Sales Credit Memo using Dimension – Division Code "A+", but the original PSI (Posted Sales Invoice) linked to this Credit Memo was posted with Division Code "A".

Given this mismatch, could you please advise on the implications this may have on costing and reporting within the system?

Looking forward to your guidance.

    Impact of Blocked Dimension Code on Sales Credit Memo Posting
    This won't have an actual GL level financial impact. Just an impact to reporting if dimensions are used in Financial Statements or other reports.
     
    What I would do is one of the following:
    1. What I recommend is to unblock the dimension value, post the credit memo and then block it again - this then ensures the CM and Invoice align 1:1.
    2. Use dimension corrections to correct the GL Entries for the Invoice that was already posted. But this won't update any subledger level data. So if you have reporting for customer subledger data it will be inaccurate.
    3. You can use a tool like this - Table Data Editor for Business Central - you can then change the dimension values at will without any validation or other limitations. You could even in theory move all old dimension values A to the new A+ value. This is the easiest and quickest option.
