Hi All

I would like to make one of our dimensions mandatory on all of our items. I can easily set mandatory dimension at the individual item level, via the Item Card. But is it possible to do easily do this for our whole suite of items?

Thanks in advance :)

Hi,

You can multi select the items and then choose the following option:

I wrote a blog that goes into a little more detail here http://thedynamicsexplorer.com/2020/11/17/dynamics-365-business-central-add-dimensions-to-more-than-one-entity-using-the-dimensions-multiple-function/

I hope this helps.

Thanks

You probably know this, but just to make sure that all items have this dimension set when posting, you can set the default dimension against the Item table in the specific dimension. For example:

This will ensure that all future postings where an item is used will force this dimension to be filled in.

In addition, you could setup Item Templates with Dimensions prefilled, so users who create new items don't have to worry about this.
