GL Account validations and dimensions

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 5

HI-  

We are converting to Dynamics 365.

1) Currently I have GL acct and Dept setup as a "dimension combination" which ensures that GL combinations are posted appropriately.  If I don't setup GL acct as a "global dimension" how can I validate posting combinations of GL Acct and Dept.

2) How do you setup GL Acct and Dept combo to determine VOH, FOH, S&M and G&A account classification on Income Statement?  Do you setup separate account numbers by classification and designating on the GL Account setup "Cost Type No."

3) Currently we are considering setting up 2 Global Dimensions as Dept and Location.  Is that Best Practice?  Or do I need to keep GL Account as 1 of 2 Global Dimensions.

Thanks for any insight.

    Hi there - are you implementing Business Central or Finance & Operations? Financial dimensions are slightly different between the products.
