Assigning dimensions

Note: These procedures apply to accounting framework integration only.

Before you start, create the BOD registration of these business documents:

AccountingChart
AccountingBookDefinition
ChartOfAccounts
CodeDefinition

Note: See Attributes for BOD Mapping in GFC for the complete list of attributes to be mapped. You must also create BOD registrations for the master data and transaction business documents that are used as source of dimension.

Select Master Data Setup > Dimension Code Assignments.
Specify this information:

Entity

Select the desired entity. This list is dynamic; it displays receiver entities registered with an accounting entity.

Accounting Book

Optionally, select the desired accounting book. This list is dynamic; if there are accounting books associated to the accounting entity of the selected entity, the accounting books are displayed in the list. Also, if there are accounting books with the same logical ID as that of the selected entity, the accounting books are shown with an asterisk prefix.
For IGFC CE, the tenant value is also used to associate accounting books to the selected entity.

Accounting Chart

Select the desired accounting chart. This list is dynamic; if there are accounting charts associated to the accounting entity of the selected entity, the accounting charts are displayed in the list. Also, if there are accounting charts with the same logical ID as that of the selected entity, the accounting charts are shown with an asterisk prefix.
For IGFC CE, the tenant value is also used to associate accounting charts to the selected entity.

Account

Optionally, select the desired ledger account. This list is dynamic; it displays the account numbers and the respective description associated to the selected Accounting Chart.

Note: DSV master data is not available for the previous fields.

Transaction

Select the transaction for which to define dimension types. This dynamic list displays the document name of registered transactional documents (PurchaseOrder, SupplierInvoice, etc.). Optionally, this field is left blank.
Note: Leaving the Transaction field blank displays existing dimension code assignments for all transactions.
Click Filter.
The existing dimension code assignments are displayed and the Add button is enabled. The grid displays dimension code assignments for the selected transaction or, if Transaction field is left blank, the grid displays all records for all transactions.
Click Add.
The details form is displayed.
Specify this information:
Transaction

Select the transaction for which to define dimension types. This dynamic list displays the document name of registered transactional documents (PurchaseOrder, SupplierInvoice, etc.).

Dimension Type

Select the dimension type. This list is dynamic; it displays the dimensions indicated in the selected accounting chart.

Transaction Type

Optionally, specify the Transaction type. Use this only when the dimension is for a specific transaction type.
Note: Transaction type is used to further classify a transaction which requires a specific accounting treatment. For example, in certain industries, a Receive Delivery transaction could be further classified as a PO Receipt, Non-PO Receipt, or Transfer Receipt.

Source
Select the source of the dimension code. Possible values are:
- Code – Select this option if the dimension code is a value defined in CodeDefinition.
  When Code is selected, you must specify the information for this field:
  Dimension Code - Select the dimension code. This list is dynamic; if there are dimension codes associated to the dimension type and selected entity, the dimension codes are displayed in the list. Also, if there are dimension codes associated to the selected dimension type and with the same logical ID as the selected entity are shown.
  For IGFC CE, the tenant value is also used to associate dimension codes to the selected entity.
- Attribute – Select this option if the dimension code is an attribute of a transactional business document.
  When Attribute is selected, you must specify the information for these fields:
  
  Document - Select the document name, for example, PurchaseOrder, ReceiveDelivery. This list is dynamic; it displays the registered transactional documents.
  
  Mapping - Select the specific BOD registration. This list is dynamic; it displays the BOD registrations associated with the selected Document.
  
  Attribute - Select the attribute that will indicate the source of dimension code. This list is dynamic; it displays the attributes associated with the selected mapping.
- Expression - Select this option if the dimension code will come from an attribute of a master data or custom master data or a result of splitting or concatenating a text value. This should be a search-template returning a single result or text type of expression. Expressions of type formula and REST API are not displayed. Note that before an expression could be selected, it must be defined first in Business Rule > Expressions.
  See BPA designer.
  When Expression is selected, you must fill in this field:
  Expression - Select the name of expression. This list is dynamic; it displays the expressions defined for the selected Transaction.
Click Save.
The new record is displayed.
Note: To view details of an expression used as a source, click on the hyperlink across a specific dimension.
