We are trying to setup a Configuration Package for journal entries, but are having problems seeing our dimensions in the package. We have a total of four dimensions, two are global dimensions with two additional short cut dimensions. I can view the dimensions when entering a journal, but again am unable to see them when setting up a configuration package.

In our setup we have created a Journal configuration package and pointed to table 81 "Gen Journal Line", but only see the first two dimensions available within the package. Is there a setup or step that we may be missing? Am I pointing to the right table? Please advise. Look forward to a response.

Dimensions in Configuration Package

The visibility of dimensions can indeed be a bit tricky in the configuration package.

To make all four dimensions visible in the configuration package, you need to link the configuration package to both table 81 (Gen. Journal Line) and table 480 (Dimension Set Entry). This is because the Dimension Set Entry table holds records for the extra dimensions beyond the two global ones.
