Dimension setup. Only Shortcut Dimension 1 Code and Shortcut Dimension 2 Code are visible

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 5

I'm trying to configure dimension shortcut codes in General Ledger Setup window but there are only Shortcut Dimension 1 Code and Shortcut Dimensions 2 Code are displayed. Why I can't see other shortcut dimensions in this window? If I'm trying to change global dimension 1 code and assign to it a dimension which is not Afdeling or Project then app says "The dimension <...> is used in General Ledger Setup window as a shortcut dimension"

Thank you

    Hi Sergey,

    Has the General Ledger Setup page maybe been modified to hide the shortcut dimension fields?

    Regards,

    Martin

    Nope, this page even doesn't have an option to show shortcut dimension codes 3-8 in setup. Sharing link to screenshot because can't attach it drive.google.com/.../view Also if I reset to default it still doesn't display shortcut codes 3-8

    Hello Sergey

    which version are you using?

    I checked  2018 and BC version and I can see all the dimensions in the general ledger setup page

    Could be that in the desing of the page those fields are hidden , so you can check the page in the design mode

    Hi Alessandro, version is 14.0.37587.0 Version DK Business Central 14.7

    I don't think they are hidden because I'm using account less than 1 month and didn't change anything there. Could you please advise me how to check in the design mode? Don't you know if it's possible that I can't view them because I'm using Demo account?

    After your reply I started searching and opened General Ledger Setup -> Help -> About this page and found shortcut dimension codes there (see screenshot: drive.google.com/.../view but they are not editable. Any ideas why? Thanks for your help

    Hello,

    It may be that this property is set to False for these dimensions.
