Does the Update Balances run when changing dimension sets on the TB or need batch job to do it?

Hi all,

I have some batch jobs running to update balances for dimension set xxxx that were created a long time ago but I suspect they are not necessary, as I don't have one for all dimension sets.  I think I've seen the phrase 'updating dimension sets' when I've changed the view of the Trial Balance previously or did I imagine it?  I thought it recalculated automatically when you opened the dimension set.  Can anyone confirm if this is the case, as I want to remove the unnecessary batch jobs.

thanks

    Hi Wendy,

    Yes, when opening the Trial balance form or running the report, it will update the balances. However, if you don't use the batch framework, someone might have to wait for a long time to get the details when it needs to update a lot of records before it starts processing the report. It is recommended to keep the batch job running.

    I would also suggest to read my old blog post about related to update and rebuild balances: dynamicspedia.com/.../

    Hi Wendy_P,

    Whenever any change made on Dimension set. Best practice is to run Rebuild balances and Update balances.

    So after that you will get Trial balance report correctly.
