How to control posting?

jeniez

How do I set up Navision so that it will create an error message and won't allow users to post unless they fill in a Dimension column when creating invoices and GL entries.

Set up the dimensions with 'Mandatory' as default dimension on the corresponding accounts/customers/Vendors ...

My problem is that the account/customers/vendors... don't always use the same dimension, so I can't really create a default dimension for it.

What happens is that the users tend to forget to choose the dimension when posting, so they always have to reverse the entry and create a new one. This has become a big hassle, so I want to creat a reminder for them.

Actually, sometimes the accounts, ect.... don't even need to use dimension at all. But I want to create some sort of warning message when no dimension is chosen, but that the user can still by-pass this message and post.

When you set the default dimension to "Mandatory", you don't have to select a Dimension Value yet. This has to be given in when posting ... .

You cant issue a warning without altering the C/AL code (as far as I know). If you do not want to do that (and this is the best way), you should rethink the posting setup in your database - maybe it is possible to separate cases when dimension is needed and cases when not and set the system up accordingly.
