NAV 2013 Sales Journal add dimension from batchjob

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Chan Marco 265

I am new for NAV 2013 and never use NAV before, i am now currently working for doing Data transfer batch from external system to Navision by using Sales Journals and post process. The main tools i use is REPORT C/AL Code for extracting data from a temporary table to Sales Journals.

I got the problem for adding dimension in Sales Journals by the batchjob.

I have tried the following methods, but not successful.

1) Create a table for Dimension Set Entry, insert values directly. (but it fail and show i have no rights for accessing the table)

2) Create a temp table for Dimension Set Entry, insert the necessary information, call Codeunit 408

g_rec_GenJournalLine."Dimension Set ID" := DimMgt.GetDimensionSetID(g_tmp_DimensionSetEntry) ; 

(no effect in the Sales Journal entry)

3) Direct set the Dimension Set ID field in the Sales Journal Table

(no effect in the Sales Journal entry)

Can anyone help me for teaching me the correct method? 

Many thanks.

    Hi Mohana,

    Am trying to insert another dimension value in dimension set entry table where

    two dimensions have already been flown to respective order.

    while inserting the record gets inserted, but during commit it gets errored out saying the dimension set id already exists.

    Please advice on this

    thanks

    Hi Chan,

    Maybe you got the same problem as one of my customers.

    Try to enter Dimensions for Sales Journal Lines via Windows Client normally:

    - Open Windows Client -> Sales Journal.

    - Input some Transactions and Dimensions that you cannot generate Dimensions.

    - Check Dimensions again.

    Let me know if Dimensions are still there or lost!

    Chan,

    You will get DimVal, by using Dimension code and dimension value code i.e.

    DimVal.GET(DimCode,DimValueCode);

    Chan,

    since you mentioned you need to create more than one dimension you can do the following to create a Gloabl TempDimSetEntry (i.e. Temporary Record variable for Table 480 Dimension Set Entry)

    TempDimSetEntry.RESET;

    TempDimSetEntry.DELETEALL;

    Create a function to insert dimensions

    CreateTempDimSetEntry(DimCode,DimValueCode) and call this function 8 times for all your dimensions

       TempDimSetEntry.INIT;

       TempDimSetEntry.VALIDATE("Dimension Code",'DimCode);

       TempDimSetEntry.VALIDATE("Dimension Value Code",DimValueCode);

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

       TempDimSetEntry.INSERT;

    Once you insert all your dimensions in the temporary dimension set entry call the below code which will retrieve the dimension set ID

     GenJournalLine.INIT.

     GenJournalLine."Document No." := 'xxxxx';

     ....

    .....

     GenJournalLine."Dimension Set ID" := DimMgt.GetDimensionSetID(TempDimSetEntry);

      GenJournalLine.INSERT

    If you want to view an example refer to teh

    g_tmp_DimensionSetEntry is a temporary variable for storing Dimension SetEntry,

    g_rec_GenJournalLine is the record for storing GenJournalLine.

    DimMgt is the codeunit 408

    For creating dimension, can i just use function GetDimensionSetID in Codeunit??

    Thank you

    I have tried the method 1 "Create Fields in the Gen. Line and then link it with Dimensions" by creating the fields "Shortcut Dimension 3 Code" .

    it works and the dimension value can be displayed in the Gen. Journal Line.

    But, when i go to Dimension Set Entry, only  "Shortcut Dimension 1 Code" and  "Shortcut Dimension 2 Code" value here.

    Due to user will use Dimension Set Entry value for extracting information in Reporting.

    I think i can only use the method 2.

    For method 2, can anyone share the coding on how to checking Dimension Set Entry and

    assign and validate that No. DimensionSetId ?? I think the code i post before is similar to the method 2. Thank you very much.

      g_tmp_DimensionSetEntry.RESET;

      g_tmp_DimensionSetEntry.INIT;

      g_tmp_DimensionSetEntry.VALIDATE("Dimension Code",'2012_AREA_COUNTRY');

      g_tmp_DimensionSetEntry.VALIDATE("Dimension Value Code", 'CANADA');

      g_tmp_DimensionSetEntry.INSERT(TRUE);

      g_rec_GenJournalLine."Dimension Set ID" := DimMgt.GetDimensionSetID(g_tmp_DimensionSetEntry) ;

    This is just a sample code i tired. In here I used a already available Dimension ID.

    recGenLine.RESET;

    recGenLine.INIT;

    recGenLine."Journal Template Name" := 'General';

    recGenLine."Journal Batch Name" := 'Default';

    recGenLine."Document No." := 'Doc001';

    recGenLine."Dimension Set ID" := 120;

    recGenLine.INSERT;
