Hi,
I received today a simple (??) question if it is possible to setup default financial dimension per vendor. I am reffering to ledger offset account. No mather which account you choose (when you post the invoice on this particular account) the same financial dimension value will pop up. I don't mean either FD that can be setup on vendor master data level.
Thank you in advance

Hi Kacper,
We talk about recording invoices in a journal, right?
Not the pending vendor invoice form with a header and lines section, right?
Assuming that you refer to invoice / GL journals, please try the following:
1. Enter the vendor in the account field first -> on the left-hand side in the journal
This ensures that the default findim from the vendor is inherited into the journal.
Note: The offset account will get the same findim defaulted -> account on the right-hand side
2. Enter a ledger account first in the line with some financial dimensions -> left-hand side in the journal
Then create a new so-called split posting line
In the second line enter your vendor
No 1 and no 2 should ensure that the findim from the vendor master is transferred to the journal for the vendor posting.
Best regards,
Ludwig
Hi Kacper,
Please see below:
1. Identify all such accounts and use fixed dimension on the offset accounts (if that's feasible and ok, expecting you don't have any other FD to be posted on these accounts.
2. If you are using default account on vendor master, when it gets defaulted in invoice journal, it actually inherits the FD from the vendor master.
3. Another option is to define the financial dimension on the journal name. When journal gets created, it will default the dimension on to the header. When you try to record invoice, it will copy the header dimension on to vendor as well as offset account by default. If you don't have default GL specified, when you save the record after entering just the GL account, dimensions will get copied automatically.
Based on what you have described, option #3 above makes most sense. Hope this helps.
Thanks,
