How to create a General Journal Line record with dimensions?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Morten Steengaard 555

Hi experts,

I use NAV 2016 and create some records in the General Journal Line table.

I need to add values in "Shortcut Dimension 3 Code" and "Shortcut Dimension 4 Code", but I don't know how to do that.

Can someone please show me a few lines of code with this? I think, I should use DimMgt.GetDefaultDim() somehow and add the two values, I want. How do I do that?

I have the same question (1)

    You need to create a temp dimension set entry with those dimension code and values and then retrieve the dimension set id and assign to the Gen. Jnl Line

    Something like below

              DimValue.GET("Dimension Code","Dimension Value Code");

               TempDimSetEntry."Dimension Code" := "Dimension Code";

               TempDimSetEntry."Dimension Value Code" := "Dimension Value Code";

               TempDimSetEntry."Dimension Value ID" := DimValue."Dimension Value ID";

               TempDimSetEntry.INSERT(TRUE);

               NewDimSetID := DimMgt.GetDimensionSetID(TempDimSetEntry);
