Posted on by Community Member

Dear All,

Could someone help me to explain the term of source document and list out all of the source documents in AX? 

Currently, my set up for Financial Dimension on GL Parameters is: source document, however since i only want to input Financial Dimension value one time on PO lines, i intend to change the setup into  Accounting distribution. Please could someone advice whether this setup will have any further effect?

Thank in advance,

    Hi Thu Ngo,

    Please have a look at the following post from MS

    blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/.../source-document-or-accounting-distribution

    Does this answer your question?

    Hi Ludwig,

    Thank for your reply.

    Actually i want to know:

    1. The concept of Source Document in AX and the list of Source documents on AX (ex: Purchase order, free text invoice and what else?)

    2. Which is pro and cons of source document - Accounting distribution.

    3. When i change the current setup (source document) into Accounting distribution, does it have any other effect except for Financial Dimension value for PO will take the dimension values from the Purchase order lines?

    Thank and best regards,

    Hi Thu Ngo,

    @1:

    I do not have a complete overview of all source documents. To really get all you might need to help of a developer looking at the source document framework forms and classes that are described in more detail here blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/.../extending-the-source-document-framework

    @2:

    I do not understand this question because many times you do not have the option not making use of the source document framework. For example when you make use of POs, AX will make use of the source document framework irrespective of whether you like it or not.

    @3:

    If you change your parameter settings there can be repercussions for example on your reports and analysis that you run. Take a PO with several PO lines as an example. If each PO line has a different financial dimension assigned your vendor balance posting will be split up by those financial dimensions if you select 'accounting distributions'. Such a split up can have an effect for example on analysis that you run for your vendor balance account.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig
