Hi all,

I am helping a client that want to use Dimension for reporting purposes but only on certain G/L Accounts.

How can we set the system not to use dimensions when posting on the VAT G/L Accounts etc?

Thanks in advance,

Jim

Hope this might be helpful:

To prevent dimension posting on specific G/L Accounts in Business Central:

Go to the Chart of Accounts.

Select your desired G/L Account(s) (e.g., your VAT G/L Accounts).

After selecting the Account No., go to the navigation menu, select the "Account" tab, then choose "Dimensions - Multiple."

The Default Dimensions box will appear. Here, you can choose the Dimension Code, Dimension Value Code, and Value Posting. To make the code not mandatory for posting to this G/L Account, select "No Code."

Value Posting to:

Code Mandatory (requires a dimension)

Same Code (must always match the default value)

No Code (never allow a dimension)

I have tried to set the dimension setting for the VAT G/L account (No. 2641) to "No Code" and then I get this error message when posting the purchase invoice:

Dimension value 1344 comes from the purchase lines on the invoice. I want that value only on the purchase G/L accounts, not on VAT etc.

This is standard behavior and requires customization if you want to clear out any unneeded dimensions before posting.

You can discuss specific needs with your partners.

Thanks.

Thanks ZHU,

Then I know we will need to add some code to help our client with this.

Best regards,
