Dimensions for budgeting

Hi all,

I have an issue which consider as bug. System version is 10.0.16 Update 40.

In a purchase invoice journal I post regular invoice Dt Expense vs Ct Vendor and Dt VAT on purchases vs Ct Vendor. The expense accounts are traced with dimension = Cost Centre the vendor accounts are traced with dimension = Vendor, Related Party and Business unit, VAT accounts are traced with dimension = Business Unit. I choose cost centre manually and the remaining dimension values are defaulted from the vendor card so journal is posted without issues

The problem starts when I add the expense account in budget control rule and I setup main account and cost centre in budget dimensions. If I do so when using the same expense account and vendor the system cannot acquire the business unit dimension for the VAT account and tries to post with blank value. In the moment I start using business unit in budget control the systems takes the correct values.

Is this behaviour a result of some setup I am missing?

Regards

Hi Boyan,

I don't understand this part of your issue.

Can you elaborate and share some screen-prints?

Many thanks,

Ludwig

Hi,

I post purchase invoice Dt 60101 External services vs Ct 40101 Trade payables Local vendors = 1000 EUR and Dt 45310 VAT on purchases vs Ct 40101 Trade payables Local vendors = 200 EUR. I added account 60101 in account structure requiring Cost Centre, account 40101 in account structure requiring Vendor, Related Party and Business Unit, 45310 in account structure requiring Business unit.

The system cannot retrieve the business unit dimension for account 45310 if I include 60101 in budget control rule (Use only main account and cost centre as budgeting dimension) and activate the budget configuration and control no matter the fact that i have chosen it manually on the journal line. To fix that I open the account structure say that I allow blanks for business unit on account 45310, post the invoice and voucher transactions shows the business unit for account 40101 but it is blank for the entry on account 45310.

Regards: Boyan

Hi Boyan,

I think we need to have more details on budget control configuration, how vendor invoice is posted and the error message given to try this in an standard environment and to escalate it if this is not working as expected and there is not setting to modify.

Please, could you log a service request including all these details so that Microsoft support team can investigate further?

Thanks.

Natalia
