Purchase Invoices for G/L Accounts and Dimensions

NickA

Hi,

There must be a reasonable explanation for this one, some obvious reason why it works the way it does, can anyone help?

Using Cronus, I enter a Purchase Invoice for a G/L Account (Say, 8430 - Travel) and assign a Dimension with value against the line.

Problem is, the dimension only seems to get applied to one side of the G/L posting - IE not the 'accounts payable' balancing posting.

This isn't what I expected - I thought the balancing posting would be broken down by dimension too, but it seems to be across the whole invoice.

Is there a reasonable explanation for this? Or must I tell the customer to start splitting their invoices by dimension?

Thanks in advance,

NickA

Do u mean that the dimension code in the header ultimately overrides the dimension code in the Purch line. If that is the case, then u will have to take a look in "dimension priorities" and make G/l superior to let's say Vendor

And yes if u like to post deifferent Dimension values to the same dimesnion code u will have to take care of this on line level

The dimension only exists against the purchase line, it doesn't exist against the purchase header - so I don't think priorities come into it?

The dimension does appear on one side of the G/L posting, just not on the other 'balancing' side (The Vendor accounts payable G/L account).

It's like the first posting comes from a purchase line and takes the dimensions from the line but the balancing posting is 'whole invoice' - it isn't broken down by line and takes the dimensions from the header.

I think it may just be something they'll have to live with.

Thanks for responding
