Hi All

Recently i update the account structure by adding one more financial dimension, now when i am posting the vendor invoice, it is giving me the message dimension missing. So when i am trying to update the financial dimension in the PO, this field is grayed disable. But this i found for some PO's only which are partial invoiced, so i want to know if the PO is partially invoiced we can not update the financial dimension, if yes then how can i process my vendor invoice against this PO with dimension.

please advise.

RE: Updating the financial dimension in PO Header

Thanks Ludwig for your reply and really appreciated.

I also checked in my test environment and found if the partial invoicing is done against the PO we cannot edit the Financial dimension on the invoice and the PO, and also while invoicing system taking the vendor details from the PO header.

As you suggested, i will invoice the PO without dimension and then pass the GL entry by making the account structure "allow blank" in which i will debit the Vendor without dimension and credit the same vendor with dimension.

RE: Updating the financial dimension in PO Header

Hi Imran,

I double checked this in my demo machine and it looks like as AX allows changing the financial dimension in the invoice form but once you leave the financial dimension field AX jumps back to the original financial dimension value. In other words, it seems not possible to change the financial dimensions for the second/third/... partial invoice. The fastest and simplest way getting this posting right seems thus posting the vendor invoice with the financial dimensions originally setup and then making a manual adjustment for the "wrong" financial dimension in GL later on. If you are considering making such a manual GL adjustment please consider whether or not you want to use separate sub-accounts of the ones that are Setup in your vendor / inventory posting profiles.

All the best,

Ludwig

Thanks Ludwig for your reply.

For the new PO i don't have the problem, problem is with the PO which are partially invoiced i cannot update the dimension as it is grayed out.

And i cannot edit the invoice header otherwise it will be easy for me to invoice with the dimension instead of updating it on the PO.

Please guide me how can i update the dimension at the invoice form it will save my time.

RE: Updating the financial dimension in PO Header

Hello Imran,

Once you create the next PO invoice you should be able to change the financial dimension in the header of the vendor invoice form.

As you said the financial dimension fields in the PO Header are greyed out and cannot be changed but you should be able to change them at the time the invoice is posted.

Please double check in your system whether you can access and change the invoice header financial dimensions tab.
