Good Day Experts,

Please help

We set up a new blank company In D365BC today and was able to create most of the setups, post opening journal balances for AP and AR. We tried posting a sales invoice to the General Income G/L account but we were getting the following errors (Location is required and store code (dimension is required). I cannot understand why a location code is mandatory for a GL account in this new company. As regards to the store code. a user setup a store but it has seen been deleted before any invoices were posted. 5287.Sales-invoice-error.PNG

I have the same question (0)

You mentioned "Store"

In BC standard the Store term doesn´t exists,

did you have any extension? can you show an image of your extension administration page?

Hi, If you mean this red star, setting the NotBlank property to true on the fields in a table does not cause a red star marking on the UI.

More details: https://yzhums.com/4940/#toc2

If the NotBlank property is used on other fields than primary fields, the behavior is as follows:
・If the field is blank, and never entered, the page can be closed.
・If the field has been entered, and the user tries to enter a blank value, a validation error occurs.

Hope this helps.
Thanks.

I hope the page below is what you wanted to see. The main company that our partner created 2 years ago had customizations relating to store and locations being mandatory fields. The new company above with the shortcut dimension and location only has 120 transactions per year so we decided to implement ourselves with the blessing of our external D365 Partner

Location Mandatory:

This is an option on your Inventory Setup. Go and uncheck the box if you don't use Locations. However, if you have Locations, we strongly encourage you to keep Location Mandatory turned on.

Dimension Requirement:

Look at the GL Account where the entries would land when Posted. Under Dimensions you will see a "Value Posting" field which likely has "Code Mandatory" set. This means you are not able to post a transaction into this account if the associated Dimension does not have a Value. There is more capability around this, but in terms of addressing your issue this is likely the setting used.

Hope this helps resolve your issues.

Then you should probably evaluate together with your partner if you still needs this customization or not and analyse the consequences of possible uninstall it.

Good Day, the extension was for our Main operating company that needed the customization. Is seems that the extension was also incorporated into this company This company , has no location or stores , no inventory and a few inter company transactions per month. So what is needed is the out of the box software solution

And the main company stills needs it and is in the same database?

If not you should be able to uninstall it. Or else you need a setup in your extension that tells you if it should be active in this company or not.

That will probably require code changes by your partner.

I am seeing the extension but I do not know the contents of the extension or a description of its purpose and what it affects so I may have to contact them

Sounds like a good idea in this case.

the PTE (Per TEnant) extension works for ALL companies in the same tenant, so if in one company those fields are required, the same process would be required in the other companies.

You can ask your partner to make a change in the extension and activate the process by company instead of tenant
