Enter Outstanding Cheques using dataports

Company code isn't a standard field, unless it's a dimention.

Well it depends on how you are using Company dimension. If you have setup to be required at the GL account no, then you wouldn't be able to post your payment.

There is a setup, that's why you can't post the payment lines. Yes you need the company dimension. I'm just curious how you are using the company dimensin.

Hi Beatrice,

in your database, Company COde is short cut 1. What has probably happened, is the Dataport that you down loaded used Shiort Cut 1 for something else, probably Department, since many users set Shortcut 1 likeit was in the older versions of Navision. When you imported the Dataport Object, Navision looked at shortcut 1, and "renamed" it to match the setup for your company, so now it says Company Code.

In your case, if Company Code is not mandatory, then you probably don't need to fill it in, BUT before deciding this, you should speak to the person in the company that is in chanrge of Financial Reporting, since it may be important to them.

From your point of view though its importatn to realise that this is not a "Navision Thing" nor a "Programming thing", its all about how the customer runs their comapny, and more importantly how the Comapny has to do its financial reporting.

Hello,

Still bothering about my question...!

Like I said previously there is no setup at all which requires you to enter the Company Code dimension on the current system.

The dataport which I mentioned regarding GL Opening Balances was one which I downloaded from a forum, in which the Company Code was specified.

What I wish to know is whether it is advisable to specify the Company Code before posting the outstanding cheques?

Thnx & Rgds,
Beatrice.
