Hi,

How to set a certain financial dimension by code?

So in SalesTable header, i have mutiple finanical dimensions, where one of them i want to fill it based on salesLine

So this "flow" is empty in SalesTable, and I want to fill it by code based on the "Flow" value for one of the SalesLines that have the highest salesPrice

how can i do that?

So i was able to get the "Flow" value for the SalesLine with the highest SalesPrice... it's the DisplayValue from from dimensionAttributeValueSetItemView
but now how to set it for SalesTable??

        SalesTable                          salesTable;
        SalesLine                           salesLine;
        DimensionAttribute                  dimensionAttribute;
        DimensionAttributeValueSetItemView  dimensionAttributeValueSetItemView;


        select firstonly RecId from dimensionAttribute where dimensionAttribute.Name == 'Flow';

        select firstonly DefaultDimension from salesLine 
         order by SalesPrice desc
         where salesline.SalesId == 'XXXSO' ;

        select firstonly DisplayValue from dimensionAttributeValueSetItemView
            where dimensionAttributeValueSetItemView.DimensionAttributeValueSet == salesLine.DefaultDimension
                && dimensionAttributeValueSetItemView.DimensionAttribute == dimensionAttribute.RecId;

        ttsbegin;
        //select forupdate salesTable where salesTable.SalesId == 'XXXSO';
        //salesTable.DefaultDimension = salesline.DefaultDimension
        ttscommit;

Hi,

I wrote this code but it's not working
when i debugged dimensionAttributeValueSetStorage after calling addItem, i didn't see the new value, even though i can see the value in dimensionAttributeValueSetItemView.DisplayValue
SalesTable salesTable; SalesLine salesLine; DimensionAttribute dimensionAttribute; DimensionAttributeValueSetItemView dimensionAttributeValueSetItemView; DimensionAttributeValueSetStorage dimensionAttributeValueSetStorage; DimensionAttributeValue dimensionAttributeValue; select firstonly RecId from dimensionAttribute where dimensionAttribute.Name == 'Flow' select DefaultDimension, SalesId from salesLine where salesLine.SalesId == XXXSO; if(salesLine.DefaultDimension) { select firstonly DisplayValue from dimensionAttributeValueSetItemView where dimensionAttributeValueSetItemView.DimensionAttributeValueSet == salesLine.DefaultDimension && dimensionAttributeValueSetItemView.DimensionAttribute == dimensionAttribute.RecId; salesTable = salesTable::find(salesLine.SalesId); dimensionAttributeValueSetStorage = DimensionAttributeValueSetStorage::find(salesTable.DefaultDimension); dimensionAttributeValue = DimensionAttributeValue::findByDimensionAttributeAndValue(dimensionAttribute, dimensionAttributeValueSetItemView.DisplayValue, true, true); dimensionAttributeValueSetStorage.addItem(dimensionAttributeValue); dimensionAttributeValueSetStorage.save(); }

You said you debugged the code and didn't see the value, but not where do you expect to see the value.

The purpose of this code is generate a new dimension combination value (RecId), which is returned by save() method. An obvious problem of your code is that you ignore this value; you haven't assigned it to to salesTable.DefaultDimension.

Hi,

Once you have your dimension combination value that you get by calling DimenstionAttributeValueSetStorage.save() you can assign it to your DefaultDimension field.

DimensionDefault defaultDimension; defaultDimension = dimensionAttributeValueSetStorage.save(); ttsbegin; salesTable.DefaultDimension = defaultDimension; salesTable.update() ttscommit;
