Hi All,

in the new AX 2012, dimension is totally changed.

my question is, if I use X++ code to generate ledgerTransLine, and user specify dimension set (using from 2012), like center = 90, department =90, purpose =10, ledger account num = 10000

now how can I check this ledger dimension set is valid in 2012? if valid, how can I get LedgerDimension recid?

Regards,

Srinivas

Hi vaasu,

Please take a look at these blog posts

If you will click "check" on journal AX will do validation for you, also you can find code there as well.

Hello Srinivas,

I checked in with our engineering team and here are some additional resources:

“how can I check this ledger dimension set is valid in 2012? … I want to give this as a service , is it possible”

1) Dimensions whitepaper documenting the validation services:

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh272858.aspx

Specifically section on Page 35 titled: FinancialDimensionValidationService

“if valid, how can I get LedgerDimension recid?”

2) In the whitepaper under “Ledger account pattern” it discusses the API’s used to work with a LedgerDimension:

e.g. : DimensionDefaultingEngine::getLedgerDimensionFromAccountAndDim

Try using the following code. If the Ledger Dimension combination is valid it will give you the RecId else it is going to through exception which you can handle it to find whether it is valid or invalid combination.

static void BFF_ValidateLedgerDimensionMappings(Args _args)

{

boolean isValid;

RecId ledgerDimension;

try

{

ledgerDimension = DMFDimensionHelper::generateDynamicDimension('2100-90-90-10');

isValid = true;

}

catch

{

isValid = false;

}

info(strfmt('Dimension result : %1', isValid));

}
