Config. Package with Dimensions

Posted on by 100

Hi Experts,

We are uploading historical transactions into Dynamics NAV 2016 through the Config Package but I notice that the dimensions available in the fields of the Table ID 81 General Journal lines are only two which appears to be 2 short cut dimensions.

Client uses almost 6 dimensions for each line of posting so I am wondering if we could add additional fields to Table ID 81 and include more dimensions instead of the only two.

Is there a way out of this.

Many thanks in advance.

Regards

    Does it work for you? Otherwise, we can support you Licensed Tool to 31 December 2016 (whole year 2016 right :-) for your uploading historical transactions. Please contact our support email!

    Using steps are simple and straight forward:

    1. Add Dimensions in Config. Package Fields:

    Hi Richard,

    To activate the dimensions, set true "Dimensions as Columns" for the Config. Line.

    Provided link from Suresh is good, Mohana has a detail Youtube guide video for this.

    Hi Suresh,

    Thanks of for the information. I check the video and it appears the dimensions fields are already in the table 81. I want to know how the dimension field can be added to the Table , I think that is my difficulty.

    On standby for your advise.

    Regards

    Hi Richard,

    We have 2 tools that help users import/export data with dimensions simply: one is built with Config. Package, one is Excel purely. However, you can do it via Config. Worksheet:

    - Search for Configuration Worksheet.

    - Create new line, choose Table ID.

    - Assign Package.

    - Activate Dimensions.

    - Export the Template.

    - Fill in data with Dimensions.

    - Import back the file.
