I am new to AX2012 as I'm sure many folks are, and I'm very impressed with some of the functionality in the new version. Especially around intercompany.
But I'm struggling to accommodate what must be a common client requirement. My client has 13 legal entities and wants to have a global chart of accounts with 80% global and 20% local for company-specific needs. This I can accommodate easily using shared chart of accounts, and the company-specific flag Suspended.
The next requirement is to have legal-entity specific financial dimension rules. Account structures can be used for financial dimension rules, but when I apply them to the Chart of Accounts I realize that they have to be global account structures, not local (company specific). I can't have a rule such as "in company 1, business unit is required on all transactions, but that's not required in company 2"
There must be something I'm missing here. The central issue is that the main accounts are not really global in nature, they are tied to a chart of accounts.
The only way I can figure to accommodate this is importing multiple main accounts for each legal entity and from that building charts of account that have company-specific account structures.
Any guidance is appreciated.
