Hi,
Dimensions in AX allow you to split the P&L pretty easily. But what do you do with the balance sheet and subledger level customer/vendor.
We thought of having default dimensions on customers & vendors and it works fine as the customer/vendor groups pick up the related GL control account with the dimension string on customers/vendors. However in events of customers/vendors used by multiple business unit constantly. We don't want the user to change dimensions on master files. Scenarios where transactions (invoice or purchase order lines) can belong to different financial dimension string and works fine with P&L accounts, however the other side will be the control accounts. These control accounts are posting as consolidated amounts of the invoice/purchase order and use the single default dimension string on the customer/vendor(ignoring the fact that there are multiple lines with different dimensions). We would have hoped that the control account would have got split as per the transactions (lines), so the dimension string and amounts will come from transactions and control account from customer/vendor groups.
Hoping anyone can shed some light.
