How to get all Financial Dimension Values using X++.

I want to fetch Dimension Value and Description in the 2nd picture.

I already checked the form(DimensonValueDetails) but the controls(GroupValue and GroupDescription) have Values(Common-table) Data source. Do you have any idea how to fetch this data?

It depends.

First of all, it depends on whether you want to values already used as financial dimensions or all values that could be potentially used as dimensions (such as all cost centers).

For example, if you have ten cost centers but only one was used as a dimension, you'll find one record in DimensionAttributeValue table. If you want to see all potential values, you have to look into the table with cost centers (you can use DimAttributeOMCostCenter view for this purpose).

I looked at DimAttributeOMCostCenter and it has the Name field.

How about this Purpose?

Where should I get the Name and Description field?

"Purpose" is a custom dimension, therefore values must be defined manually. They're stored in DimensionFinancialTag table.

Hello Jerrold-verzosa,

What do you try to achieve here at the end of the day?

That is, why you need those data and for what purpose?

Best regards,

Ludwig

Hello Jerrold-verzosa,

Is my understanding correct that you want to restrict the data users can see in the UI based on financial dimensions?

Is that what you try to achieve?

Best regards,

Ludwig

You can try this,

View FinancialDimensionValueEntityFinancialTagView contains custom dimension values .

View FinancialDimensionValueEntityExistingListView contains dimension values from fixed List

View FinancialDimensionValueEntityView contains union of all, You can add filter to field Dimension attribute. and get values.
