Segmented entry control just for entering Default dimensions

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 11,633

Hi All,

Is there a possibility to add the segmented entry control which can just allow me to enter the financial dimensions for specific purchase order line? On PO details form, the financial dimension can only be entered from Financial dimension tab. One of my client requested to have the ability to enter financial dimension on PO line grid, so that he don't need to click on Line details fast tab, and then go to financial dimension tab to edit the financial dimensions. 

The LedgerDimensionDefaultAccountController class only shows the Main account in segmented entry control when used, but there is no class which provides the functionality I described above.  As per my investigation up till now, I concluded that it is not possible. But just wanted to throw this question here, so that I can be sure that my conclusion is correct or do let me know if there is a possibility to achieve this functionality.

Thanks,

SB.

    Hi Syed,

    Have a look at the budgetting module. If you setup to use department and cost centers and not main accounts to do your budgetting, you have the segmented entry control without the main account. The setup can be done in Budgeting > Setup > Basic budgeting > Dimensions for budgetting.

    You can have a look then at the Budget entries to see how this is implemented.

    Hi Andre,

    You are right. When main account is not selected, only financial dimensions displayed on Budget transaction line, but for this there is a separate class BudgetLedgerDimensionController which is doing this logic I guess. Looks complex, but thanks for your suggestion. I will look into this in detail to see if this can be implemented.

    Hi Andre,

    In Budgeting module, for this purpose there is a separate class BudgetLedgerDimensionController which performs this task but it is using the field LedgerDimension and there is no Default Dimension. Is it possible by any means to have the segmented entry control just for entering financial dimension referring to field Default dimensions?

    Consider creating segmented entry control using DefaultDimension field in PurchLine table

    You need to implement segmented entry control using following class

    LedgerDimensionController

    Please verify if this helps you

    Nitesh,

    Segmented entry control cannot be used with DefaultDimension field. It can only be used with LedgerDimension field. This is by Design.

    Thanks,

    SB.

    Hi Baber,

                 Did you find the solution to this? I have similar requirement. Please let me know.

    Thanks

    Hi Alok,

    I didn't find any solution to show just the financial dimensions on segmented entry control, so I ended up adding the individual financial dimensions on preview pane. Unfortunately, I don't have access to client environment anymore, otherwise I would have provided you the source code for this.

    I recall adding the code under Info or form parts.

    Please let me know if you need further help.

    Thanks,

    Baber.
