    You should create a temporary dimension set entry something like this:


    DimSetEntry.INIT;
    DimSetEntry."Dimension Set ID":=-1;
    DimSetEntry."Dimension Code":=lt_DimSetEntry."Dimension Code";
    DimSetEntry."Dimension Value Code":=lt_DimSetEntry."Dimension Value Code";
    DimSetEntry."Dimension Value ID":=lt_DimSetEntry."Dimension Value ID";
    DimSetEntry."Dimension Name":=lt_DimSetEntry."Dimension Name";
    DimSetEntry."Dimension Value Name":=lt_DimSetEntry."Dimension Value Name";
    DimSetEntry.INSERT(FALSE);

    Using this function, you will get the id
    GetDimensionSetID(recDimSetEntry)

    Each of your dimensions is inserted as a Record of Dimension Set Entry, using the following block from KTA8:
    DimSetEntry.INIT;
DimSetEntry."Dimension Set ID":=-1;
DimSetEntry."Dimension Code":=lt_DimSetEntry."Dimension Code"; //This is your three codes: project, dept & channel
DimSetEntry."Dimension Value Code":=lt_DimSetEntry."Dimension Value Code"; //This is the value from your dimension codes
DimSetEntry."Dimension Value ID":=lt_DimSetEntry."Dimension Value ID";
DimSetEntry."Dimension Name":=lt_DimSetEntry."Dimension Name";
DimSetEntry."Dimension Value Name":=lt_DimSetEntry."Dimension Value Name";
DimSetEntry.INSERT(FALSE);

    Then, once you've inserted all 3, you pass it as a parameter to the GetDimensionSetID Function, which is in the Dimension Set Entry table.

    Hi KTA8/Phogue,

    below code is not working as i need.

    DimSetEntry.INIT;
    DimSetEntry."Dimension Set ID":=-1;
    DimSetEntry."Dimension Code":=lt_DimSetEntry."Dimension Code"; //This is your three codes: project, dept & channel
    DimSetEntry."Dimension Value Code":=lt_DimSetEntry."Dimension Value Code"; //This is the value from your dimension codes
    DimSetEntry."Dimension Value ID":=lt_DimSetEntry."Dimension Value ID";
    DimSetEntry."Dimension Name":=lt_DimSetEntry."Dimension Name";
    DimSetEntry."Dimension Value Name":=lt_DimSetEntry."Dimension Value Name";
    DimSetEntry.INSERT(FALSE);

    I am not able to get your whole code:
    1.DimSetEntry."Dimension Set ID":=-1;
    ---> why you assign to -1,what it will do?
    2.DimSetEntry."Dimension Code":=lt_DimSetEntry."Dimension Code"; //This is your three codes: project, dept & channel
    ---> here, for which record you are using 'lt_DimSetEntry', is it variable for 'Dimension set entry'? I am using 'DimSetEntry' with property-Temporary = Yes.

    so, please tell me in details, because i am not getting how it will generate Dimension set id for my given three Dimension code combination: Dept, channel and project.

    Plese guide me,

    Thanks,
    Mani.
