Flowing few lines of General Journals lines from one company to another company

Posted on by Sarath

Hi All,

I created a custom field named TransferCompany in the General Journal Line page. With this field, I am transferring a few lines from the current company to another company. All my lines are going through perfectly, but the only problem I am facing is sending the dimension data from the current company to another company. Is there any way to send the dimensions using ChangeCompany? If possible, I would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance for your advice!

Thanks & Regards,

Sarath..

Hello Yong,

The Function DimensionManagment.GetDimensionID(TempDimensionsetEntry) is running on the current company and it is checking current company dimensionsetid on the IC Company and if it finds it is showing those dimensions, else if it did not find anything it is inserting my dimensions, other than that method can we use any other approaches for finding the dimension set id in the IC company.....

Thanks & Regards,

Sarath.

Hello Sarath,

I believe you are referring to this line of code in the above statement.

Then I think this part might not be right.

Yes, you ran ChangeCompany on the record NewDimensionsetEntry.

But I think the DimensionManagement.GetDimensionSetID(TempDimensionSetEntry) function is called in the current company, not in the IC Company.

You might want to double-check and run in debug mode.

Hello Yong,

Currently, my code does not generate any errors; however, its functionality involves selecting dimensions within the current company. It retrieves a dimension set ID and searches for this Dimension Set ID is in the IC company. If records associated with the dimension set ID are found, the corresponding dimension values it is taking in the IC company. Conversely, if no records are found, the code creates the dimensions selected in my current company to my IC Company, there are any alternative methods available for transferring dimensions beyond this approach.

Thanks Yong, Gdrenteria, Yun Zhu, Valentin for your advices...

Thanks & Regards

Sarath.

Hello Sarath,

Could you provide us with the error message and tell us which line is causing the error?

Instead of generating Dimension Set ID on the IC company, can you just insert the TempDimensionSetEntry to the journal individually?

I haven't tried this but I doubt the codeunit is calling from the IC Company.

You passed the IC Company TempDimensionSetEntry while the functions inside this codeunit are running and getting from the current company data.

NewDimensionsetEntry.ChangeCompany("IC Company Name");
NewDimensionSetID := DimensionManagement.GetDimensionSetID(TempDimensionSetEntry);
NewDimensionsetEntry.SetRange("Dimension Set ID", NewDimensionSetID);

Hello Sarath,

You can't send the 'Dimension Set ID' field to another company because the same combination will likely be of a different Set ID.

You need to look into the Dimension Set ID from the current company and store their dimensions and values individually.

Then, transfer these Dimensions and values individually to the next company.

As @YUN ZHU mentioned, you can use the standard codeunit 408 DimensionManagement to look for the dimensions and values.

You can look at the standard General Ledger Entries page, Dimension action button.

In our GLE, the system only records the Global 1 and 2 and the rest of the dimensions are contained in the Dimension Set ID.

This action button will look for the Dimensions and Values from the Ledger Entry Dimension Set ID.

Hi, the handling of Dimension is rather special in Business Central, you can refer to the standard methods in the following Codeunit.

codeunit 408 DimensionManagement

Hope this helps.

Thanks.

Have you looked into using the intercompany module which does this out of the box? Is there a reason you're creating your own functionality when the system already does it out of the box?
