PO Line Financial Dimensions Not Auto-Populating – Configuration or Custom Code?

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by 116
Hi everyone,
 
When I create a new Purchase Order line in D365 F&O, the Financial Dimensions are not being auto-populated.
 
I investigated the PURCHLINE table in SSMS and confirmed that the DEFAULTDIMENSION field is always 0 on every new line until I fill the dimensions manually — at which point it gets assigned a RecId.
 
What I already checked:
- Vendor has no default dimension
- PO Header has no default dimension
- Account structures are active and configured correctly
 
My questions:
1. What is the standard defaulting hierarchy for financial dimensions on PO lines (vendor, item, procurement category, templates, etc.)?
2. Is there an out-of-the-box configuration that enables auto-population of dimensions on PO lines, or does this always require a custom X++ development and if so from where should I read the Default dimension?
3. If the business requirement is to default dimensions from a specific source (e.g. the worker linked to the logged-in user), is that achievable through configuration or is it purely a customization?
 
Thanks

    Hi @Raed Salah Bzour

    I hope first level hierarchy will be from item master and if we don't have anything in item level. it will look for vendor master.

    I think it's should without configuration. 
     
    Thanks,
