Find or create ledger dimension

Hi All!

I have a requirement for which if some segments of a default dimensions are changed on the line level (for the first line only), I have to copy those segments to the offset account of the header.

When I looked at the LedgerDimensionFacade::serviceCreateLedgerDimension method, it seemed like a possible solution, because,

I will extract the main account (MainAccount::findByLedgerDimension) and
the default dimension (LedgerDimensionFacade::getDefaultDimensionFromLedgerDimension) from the original OffsetLedgerDimension,
copy the segments changed and form a new or find an existing ledger dimension recid.

To test my understanding of the methods

I passed one offset ledger dimension (let's say VarA),
extracted the main account (VarB) and
the default dimension (VarC).
then I passed the values of VarB and VarC to the method LedgerDimensionFacade::serviceCreateLedgerDimension

But instead of returning the value equal to VarA, the method returns some other recid.

If you have any information on what am I doing wrong, could you please share it with me...

With best regards,

Abhinay

You could apply the below code

LedgerDimensionFacade::serviceCreateLedgerDimension(LedgerDefaultAccountHelper::getDefaultAccountFromLedgerDimension(VarB), VarC);

Hi,

Yes, this method will return a rec id, if you look into the code it's returning a rec id of DimensionAttributeValueCombination. If you want to store the output on a table then you can store the RecId directly but in case you want to use the dim values further try to play around the DimensionAttributeValueCombination table.

Hi All,

Thank you for your replies, but the final solution was a bit more than that.

This is the final solution:

public static container getLedgerDimDefaultDimMerge(recId _ledgerDimesnions, DimensionDefault _defaultDimensionRecId)
    {
        DimensionHierarchy hierarchy;
        DimensionHierarchyLevel hierarchyLevel;
        DimensionHierarchyId hId;        
        hId = DimensionHierarchy::getAccountStructure(MainAccount::findByMainAccountId(MainAccount::findByLedgerDimension(_ledgerDimesnions).MainAccountId).RecId);
        DimensionStorage dimensionStorage = DimensionStorage::findById(_ledgerDimesnions);
        container conLedgerDim, conDefaultDim;        
        
        container segments = conNull();
        // Get segments
        int segmentCount = dimensionStorage.segmentCountForHierarchy(1);
        String255 segmentName, MainAccount, segmentValue;
        for (int segmentIndex = 1; segmentIndex <= segmentCount; segmentIndex  )
        {
            // Get segment
            DimensionStorageSegment segment = dimensionStorage.getSegmentForHierarchy(1, segmentIndex);
            
            // Get segment name
            hierarchyLevel = DimensionHierarchyLevel::findByDimensionHierarchyAndLevel(hId, segmentIndex);
            segmentName = DimensionAttribute::find(hierarchyLevel.DimensionAttribute).Name;
            
            // Add segment value
            segmentValue = segment.parmDisplayValue();
            if (segmentIndex == 1)
            {
                MainAccount = segmentValue;
            }
            conLedgerDim  = segmentName;
            conLedgerDim  = segment.parmDisplayValue();            
        }
        
        for (int i = 1; i <= conLen(conLedgerDim); i  = 2)
        {
            Name name = conPeek(conLedgerDim, i);
            DefaultDimensionView defaultDimensionView;
            select defaultDimensionView
                where defaultDimensionView.DefaultDimension == _defaultDimensionRecId
                        && defaultDimensionView.Name == conPeek(conLedgerDim, i);
            conDefaultDim  = defaultDimensionView.DisplayValue != strMin() ? defaultDimensionView.DisplayValue : conPeek(conLedgerDim, i   1);
        }
        return conDefaultDim;
    }

and passed the container returned in the above given code to:

static int64 getLedgerDimFromMainAccAndDefaultDim(MainAccountNum _mainAccountNum, container _conValue)
    {
        container   _conData;
        int hierarchyCount;
        int hierarchyIdx;
        RecId                   dimAttId_MainAccount;
        LedgerRecId            ledgerRecId;
        MainAccount mainAccount;
        RefRecId recordvalue;
        DimensionAttribute     dimensionAttribute;
        DimensionAttributeValue dimensionAttributeValue;
        DimensionSetSegmentName DimensionSet;
        DimensionStorage         dimStorage;
        LedgerAccountContract LedgerAccountContract = new LedgerAccountContract();
        DimensionAttributeValueContract  ValueContract;
        List   valueContracts = new List(Types::Class);
        dimensionAttributeValueCombination dimensionAttributeValueCombination;
        _conData = _conValue;
        mainAccount = MainAccount::findByMainAccountId(_mainAccountNum);
        recordvalue = DimensionHierarchy::getAccountStructure(mainAccount.RecId,Ledger::current());
        hierarchyCount = DimensionHierarchy::getLevelCount(recordvalue);
        DimensionSet = DimensionHierarchyLevel::getDimensionHierarchyLevelNames(recordvalue);
        for(hierarchyIdx = 1; hierarchyIdx<=hierarchyCount; hierarchyIdx  )
        {
            if(hierarchyIdx == 1)
                continue;
            dimensionAttribute = DimensionAttribute::findByLocalizedName(DimensionSet[hierarchyIdx], false, "en-in");
            if(dimensionAttribute)
            {
                dimensionAttributeValue = DimensionAttributeValue::findByDimensionAttributeAndValue(dimensionAttribute,conPeek(_conData, hierarchyIdx));
                if(dimensionAttributeValue)
                {
                    ValueContract = new DimensionAttributeValueContract();
                    ValueContract.parmName(dimensionAttribute.Name) ;
                    ValueContract.parmValue(dimensionAttributeValue.CachedDisplayValue);
                    valueContracts.addEnd(ValueContract);
                }
            }
        }
        LedgerAccountContract.parmMainAccount(_mainAccountNum);
        LedgerAccountContract.parmValues(valueContracts);
        dimStorage = DimensionServiceProvider::buildDimensionStorageForLedgerAccount(LedgerAccountContract);
        dimensionAttributeValueCombination = DimensionAttributeValueCombination::find(dimStorage.save());
        ledgerRecId = dimensionAttributeValueCombination.RecId;
        return ledgerRecId;
    }

Of-course, I am still testing the code for different scenarios.

With best regards,

Abhinay
