Hi mates! 

One question, I have 230k of records on G/L Entry table, General Ledger Entries page.

I want to change or add all of them but, I only know how to do it throught "correct dimensions".

Is there any other way? Like quickstart or programming?

Can't edit on Excel.

Thanks a lot!

    It can be done in code. But i advice you to seek help from your Dynamics NAV partner in order to have them help you do it in a safe and efficient way.

    Hi, Starting with Dynamics 365 Business Central 2021 release wave 1 (BC18), there is a very useful new feature, Dimension corrections (for G/L Entries).

    More details: https://yzhums.com/10655/

    I think you can refer to this function and port it to NAV2018.

    Hope this will help.

    Thanks.

    Hello,

    Sadly, in NAV 2018 their is no easy easy way. I have done this update by creating a General Journal reversing the incorrect DIM entry. It is a Config Package to Table 81, incase you have tons. Yes, their is an ISV Addon for Dimension Corrections for NAV:

    As noted, in BC, Microsoft added a Dimension correction feature.

    Thanks,

    Steve
