Simple way to retrieve default dimension from Account Structure?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by b_radlyjames 3,155

I have an account structure with is  MainAccount-DefaultDimension (A financial dimension we set up).

I can easily find the Ledger Dimension in GeneralJournalAccountEntry.  I'm trying to, easily, get from that Ledger Dimension to the 'DefaulDimension' portion of the account structure.

The DimensionAttributeValueCombination has the MainAccount portion stored so that is easy to extract.  Now, if I use all the DimAttribute tables I can correctly extract the DefaultDimension but it is 4 more tables and I was thinking there might be an easier that I just don't know about.

    Thanks Bhaskar Roy.  The first one will do.  The second one requires the DefaultDimension which I don't have.  Only the LedgerDimension.  Thanks!
