ReportHello,
We are working on the mapping to convert our Great Plains GL accounts to BC. We have multiple entities with multiple locations and within the locations there are typically multiple cost centers as well.
My question is: Can we have a repeating number for one of our Global Dimensions and also for the shortcut dimensions?
For example, in one entity, you have:
- Global Dimension 1 (Entity #) = 00
- Global Dimension 2 (Location #) = 90
- Shortcut Dimension 1 (Cost Center) = 999
In another entity, you have:
- Global Dimension 1 (Entity #) = 16
- Global Dimension 2 (Location #) = 90
- Shortcut Dimension 1 (Cost Center) = 999
I am guessing we would need to restrict the posting of Global Dimension 2 and Shortcut Dimension 999 to only be available to use for entity 00 and entity 16? We are going to use solver for reporting and we like to do entity specific reporting and also do a consolidated P&L for all entities and locations. But, even though the Global Dimension 2 and the Shortcut dimension are the same, we still have an entity-specific identifier in Global Dimension 1 so I do not see why this would be an issue. The reason we were thinking of using some repeated numbers for location is because they are serving the same purpose. For example location 90 is real estate related per entity.
Our conversion partner says the location global dimension needs to be unique but I find that had to believe because that means business central can only handle 99 locations. And our conversion partner recently claimed there are no allocation accounts but we found out there are through our own research and then they told us there is in fact allocation accounts. So, I just want to ask this question here to make sure we are not getting steered wrong by our conversion partners. Otherwise we are going to have all sorts of different location dimensions that are not necessary.
Thanks,
