Comparing Chart Dimensions and Ledger Dimensions
This topic lists the main differences between Chart dimensions
and Ledger dimensions.
- Any number of Chart dimensions can be linked to a GL Account. Only one Ledger dimension can be linked to a GL Account.
- Chart dimensions can change constantly. Each export can be different. Ledger dimensions should stay unchanged for months or longer, for trend analysis on each dimension.
- Chart dimensions are exported for every Ledger transaction in the site, every time. Ledger dimensions are more easily filtered by account and date range on the Ledger Dimension Details form.
- Chart dimensions are updated when the journal transactions are created. Ledger
transactions are updated at these times:
- When the General Ledger Attributes Update Utility is run.
- When Ledger dimensions are updated on the Journal Entries form.
- When Ledger dimensions are updated on the GL Posted Transactions form.
