Payment journal posted transactions - Dimensions behavior

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 92

Hi,

We noticed what seems to be a standard D365 behavior for both Vendor and Customer Payment journals and wondering if there's a way to turn this off. Basically, if the invoice selected to be paid is carrying Financial Dimensions, the payment journal will generate 4 transactions:

Group 1: Credit AR (or AP) summary account (no dimensions)

               Debit Cash account


Group 2: Credit AR (or AP) summary account with the associated financial dimensions that were on the invoice

               Debit AR summary account (no dimensions)

Here's our scenario, on the AR side.

- Created and posted an AR invoice# 202 for 1000 $:

Debit GL# 1101-D1-Division2 (1101 is account receivables, D1 is a Financial Dimension Department and Division 2 is another Financial dimension)

- Created Customer payment journal and selected Invoice #202 for payment:

CR Customer account

Debit GL# 1500 (1500 is Cash Account)

Since the selected invoice was carrying Financial Dimensions and given that the Customer Account doesn't have default dimensions, here are the transactions generated upon posting the Payment Journal:

Debit 1000$ GL# 1500 (Cash Account)

Credit 1000$ GL# 1101

Debit 1000$ GL# 1101

Credit 1000$ GL# 1101-D1-Division2 

Is there a way to turn off the AR in and out? The summary account without dimension is not making sense as the original invoice was hitting the AR summary account with dimensions. So the payment should just Credit summary account + dimensions. Why is it thinking necessary to add this in and out without financial dimensions.

    HI,

    I know there is one localization feature around this , payment control with financial dimension. Is it for any specific country?

    It is not possible OOB. This is standard feature to balance the balance sheet accounts per dimensions.

    It's for USA, but I don't think we want to enforce payment control. We want to get rid of the additional generated entries.

    Unfortunately you cant but you may develop a solution to copy the dimensions on transaction for the payment journal
