Blank Dimension Value for "Code Mandatory"

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by JE-29041340-0 378
Hi:
 
I have always used blank (empty) as the Dimension Value in the Vendor Card when the /Value Posting/ field is set to Code Mandatory.
 
Today, upon trying to post a Purchase Invoice, I received an error telling me that I need to return to the Vendor Card and enter a Dimension Value.
 
Only when I did so was I able to successfully post.
 
Why?
 
Thanks!
 
John

    Check the dimension on your purchase invoice document.
    If you specify that the dimension as Code Mandatory on your vendor card, any document (including invoice) against that vendor need to have that dimension.

    add more info:
     


    Dimension Value Posting setup determines how dimension values are enforced during transactions. the options/meaning:

    None: No dimension value required.
    Code Mandatory: A dimension value must be entered. Blank values are not allowed.
    Same Code: A specific dimension value must be used.
    No Code: The dimension must remain blank.
    In your scenario, BC requires a dimension value to be entered to post

    The /Value Posting/ field being set to Code Mandatory with a blank dimensions value means that when you create documents/entries for this vendor the dimension will be mandatory. It doesn't matter which dimensions value you select, it just can't be empty. 
     
    The error should also state that you need to select the dimension on your document, not on the vendor card.
