Hi All,
I'm facing an issue while creating a Data Entity. I'm seeing some fields in SSMS but those fields are not visible in VS. Kindly advise how can I add that field?
Thank you
Hi Roohan,
You can only add fields in the application layer, that are available in the application layer. Those fields in your screenshot are in the database layer. Those are system generated fields and used behind the scenes by the system.
Fear not, Microsoft allows you to add the custom financial dimension fields to the standard financial dimension data entities (by extending the data entitues) and then you use and add those extended financial dimension entities in your own data entity. Also handy in the export to Excel feature. There are Micosoft articles on how to do that, search for them online.
Dear Venter,I understand that. But how do I do it? Walk me through the process.This is a default table and I want to get the COSTCENTRE and COSTCENTREVALUE fields.
You can implement financial dimensions by adding the DefaultDimension field. As an example have a look at the CustCustomerGroupEntity.
If you would need the two mentioned fields only, you can also consider adding virtual fields: Computed columns and virtual fields in data entities - Finance & Operations | Dynamics 365 | Microsoft Learn
I'm trying to add a field from DEFAULT table, not from ENTITY.
