Free Text Invoice / Financial Dimension and Account structures question

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Jacob Anthony 2

Main account 113000 is in Account structure MA-PGU

If I select all FinDims on an FTI line

I posted the FTI. When I view accounting and it takes me to the subledger journal, it correctly shows only PGU, as per the account structure. This seemingly ignores the other FinDims populated.

Is this expected functionality? To allow me to post an FTI with FinDim values selected that don't adhere to the account structures? When shown on the ledger account it is correct, but I find it odd that on the FTI there wouldn't be an error message on posting? Am I missing some config? Even after posting, the FinDim values selected (all populated) are still there.

    Hi Jacob,

    It is depend on your Customer revenue account setup on active account structure.

    In your example account 113000 should be posted with a dimension value for "ProfitGeneratingUnit" while in the FTI there have used a dimension value for other financial dimensions.

    Main account 113000 just need a dimension value for "ProfitGeneratingUnit" for posting of FTI while your Customer balance does not need a ny FD value. When you post the FTI, FD values will be delegates to the Customer revenue and Customer balance based on their setup for posting in active account structure. Therefore, Main account 113000 just get the dimension value for "ProfitGeneratingUnit" .

    Hi Alireza,

    Thank you for your reply.

    I understand that 100%, however, I presumed an error message would appear upon posting? It seems odd that it would give an option to populate more FD values than the account structure would allow.

    Hi Jacob,

    Can you please share details of account 113000?

    I am especially interested in the default / fixed financial dimension settings.

    Many thanks,

    Ludwig

    Hi Jacob,

    If you have only applicable financial dimension for the specified ledger account and during transaction even you specify more dimension on the form then system will not throw any error. It will simply pick up which ever dimension is applicable.

    If required dimension is missing it will throw error.

    Reason for that is on document transactions e.g. Free text invoice, purchase order , sales orders etc.. except financial journal system doesn't show dimensions as per accounting structure because Main account is picked up during posting.

    Whereas when you create entry with Same GL code in financial journal system only allows you to select the required dimension.

    Hi Ludwig,

    Thanks for your reply.

    We do not have default/fixed Fin dims for our main accounts currently. I have repeated this process with other MA in different account structures, and coming across the same thing.

    Hi Saurabh,

    Thanks for your reply.

    This makes sense. If it's expected and standard then we can work with that. I was just wondering if I missed config.

    Hi Jocob,

    D365FO will follow the account structure for posting against a main account. As already mentioned by Saurabh, you will get a error message if you have not provided valid value for financial dimension value on the invoice for the specific main account.

    Assume that main account 113000 can be posted  just with FD "ProfitGeneratingUnit", If you add a value for FD "Department" on free text invoice, posted voucher will show just 113000-"ProfitGeneratingUnit" and not "Department" (e.g 113000-"ProfitGeneratingUnit"-"Department")  since 113000 is not allowed to be posted with department.
