In what table can I find the cost center associated to a Project?

Posted on by

In the Project screen, I can see that a Project is associated to a Cost Center under Default Financial Dimensions section. 

However, I am not able to find it in the underlying tables. I see a DefaultDimension value in the ProjTable which I assume should lead me to the Cost Center but I am not able to get the cost center i.e., if I look up this value in say DimensionAttributeValue or DimensionAttributeValueCombination tables.

What am I missing?

    You need to have visual studio access to find out the table used in the view. With table browser extension you can't see the tables used in the view.

    Yes, I did manage to get that using your previous response.

    I was just trying to find out if there was a way I could have figured it out myself based on the view name you had provided earlier so that I can use that method the next time I need to know what tables a view is based on.

    As I already mentioned in my previous reply about the tables. You can join those tables to get the required output.

    Thanks,

    I don't have access to the code base. I am basically relying on the table browser extension in Chrome and D365 portal to figure things out. Is there a way to find out what tables a view is referring to using one of these?

    You can use DimensionAttributeValueSetItem, DimensionAttributeValue, DimensionAttribute.

    Relation betweeen DimensionAttributeValueSetItem and ProjTable will be below.

    "DimensionAttributeValueSetItem. DimensionAttributeValueSet == ProjTable.DefaultDimension".

    You can filter "CostCenter" in the table DimensionAttribute. Name field.

    Thanks,

    You can refer to the view and use that table as mentioned in the view datasource.

    Thanks,

    Thanks. While I can see this view and am able to do the tie up visually, this view does not show up in the Export to Data Lake list of tables. I suppose that's because it's a view and not a table or perhaps it has not been set as exportable.

    Is there an underlying table I can leverage instead?

    Hi vickyD,

    You can refer to the view named DefaultDimensionView - There will be a field named "Name" where you can filter by Cost center.

    Relation will be ProjTable.DefaultDimension == DefaultDimensionView.DefaultDimension.

    Thanks,
