Apply dimensions retroactively

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 85

Hello,

Does anyone know of a way to retroactively apply dimensions to all of a customers previous transactions? Specifically, my customers currently have a region dimension applied, but I'd like to add a City dimension as well, and have it apply to all previous transactions the customer made.


Thank you

    Hi,

    There's no standard way to update the existing transactions.  You need to update them using a customized program.

    Hi,

    Manesh is right. It is not allowed to change posted transaction and dimensions in transactions also.

    hi,

    no standard ways to do this.

    You need to customize, you can use standard NAV function DimMgt.GetDimensionSetID(Rec) to create New Dimension SET ID of fiunction existing on UpgradeToolkit since NAV 2013

    Example

    On Close Page (page 480 Edit Dimension Set Entries) you can find teh function

    DimSetID := DimMgt.GetDimensionSetID(Rec)

    You can use new IDs to update tables (for example starting from table 17..)
