Accrual Scheme using wrong Financial Dimensions in offset account

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Member

I am trying to use the Accrual Scheme on an entry but am having issues how it is generating the transactions. The expense side is coming from the JE entry and the offset is being generated by the Accrual Scheme. The offset account is set to use account 1290. In the first image below you can see that the account should be ---1290 as there are no other financial dimensions associated with that account. But when using the Accrual Scheme it is inheriting the financial dimensions from the expense. Is this something wrong in the accrual scheme or in our COA setup? How do I get this fixed?

    Hello GCross,

    To me this looks like a normal behavior.

    You entered your account 6655 with findims and those findims are inherited to the 'offset' accrual account that you use.

    I assume that this is a balance sheet account where you do not want to have those findims shown, right?

    Yet, is this really an issue if your accrual account 1290 has findims associated?

    If so, why?

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    Hi Ludwig,

    You are correct that it is a balance sheet account and I don't want findims on those entries. If they are there then the journal will not validate. I assume they will not post that way either? Or will it still post to that account but just have findims associated with it? Wouldn't that go against the account structure?

    Is there a way to setup AX to not automatically inherit findims into an offset account?

    Thanks,

    Garrett

    Hello Garrett,

    I don't think that you can setup the accrual transactions in a way that no findims are inherited.

    The journal should, however still post without an error.

    A kind of workaround you can think about is setting up the accrual account with fixed financial dimension values. You can do this in the chart of account and simply select blank fixed findims. Maybe test this workaround in a demo environment first.

    Best regards

    Hi Ludwig,

    How do I set the account to use fixed financial dimensions? I am looking in the chart of account setup like you said but I don't see and field to select financial dimensions. Is this setup in the account structure instead? I can see the option there to allow blanks but not sure how to force blanks.

    Thanks,

    Garrett

    Hello Garrett, 

    Here is a screenprint that illustrates how this can be achieved.
