Dimensions as Flow Field for Customer and Vendor Ledger Entries - for Security Filter

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by ShaishavM 215

Hi,

We are facing below challenge.

  • We want to define permission sets with security filter on Customer and Vendor Ledger entries.
  • Filters needs to be based on Dimensions (not Global Dimensions).
  • I understand that Security Filters don't work with Dimensions other than Global Dimensions.
  • In Dynamics NAV, we could define Flow Field to populate Dimensions as Columns on CLE and VLE. 
  • Can this be done in Dynamics 365 Business Central (Cloud).

TIA!

SM

    Hi Inge,

    Yes, they are defined as shortcut dimensions.

    Thanks!

    Are your dimensions defined as shortcut dimensions?

    The flow fields got the same functionality in Business Central Cloud as it had in Dynamics NAV.

    So if you had a customization around this in Dynamics NAV that customization can be moved to Business Central.

    Hi

    I have seen this before (if I remember correctly) but I am not developer and do not know how they did it. See following article that added those to G/L Entry. or the second that provide all possibilities.
