How to Create New financial dimension in AX2009

By


Hi friends many of the client  requirement’s  to create a new financial dimension in AX apart from the three standard dimensions "Department", "Cost center" and "Purpose".
Here is a steps to creating a new financial dimension.


To create a new financial dimension modify following objects one by one

1)Base enum "SysDimension" : Find this base enum and right click on this base enum -> Select option "New element". In properties window give a name to this element say "TestDim" and label as "Test dimension". Save the base enum.
2)Extended data type "Dimension" : Find this EDT and then add a new array element in this EDT. Name this array element as "TestDim". In properties window specify label as "Test dimension". Now in the "Relations" tab of this new array element add a new "Normal"  relation first. To this normal relation open properties window and set property Table as "Dimensions" and Related field as "Num". Now add another relation of type "Related field fixed". To this related field fixed relation open properties window and set Related field as "DimensionCode" and property value as "3" (this is the value of the new enum element created in SysDimension). Save the EDT.
3)Extended data type "DimensionCriteria" : Repeat the process of modification as done for EDT "Dimension" above.
4)Extended data type "XMLMapDimension" : Find this EDT in AOT and then create a new array element for this EDT. Label this array element as "Test document value". Save the EDT.
5)Extended data type "MandatoryDimension" : Find this EDT in AOT and then create a new array element for this EDT. Label this array element as "Validate test dimension". Save the EDT.
6)Extended data type "DimensionLedgerJournal" : Find this EDT in AOT and then create a new array element for this EDT. Label this array element as "Test dimension". Save the EDT.
7)Extended data type "DimensionKeepFromTransaction" : Find this EDT in AOT and then create a new array element for this EDT. Label this array element as "Keep transaction test dimension". Save the EDT.
8)Extended data type "COSAllowDimensions" : Find this EDT in AOT and then create a new array element for this EDT. Label this array element as "Test dimension". Save the EDT.
9)Extended data type "DimensionPriority" : Find this EDT in AOT and then create a new array element for this EDT. Label this array element as "Test dimension". Save the EDT.
10)Extended data type "DimensionAllocation" : Find this EDT in AOT and then create a new array element for this EDT. Label this array element as "Test dimension". Save the EDT.
11)Table "LedgerJournalTrans" : Find this table in AOT and add a new relation in the relations tab as follows. Create a new relation in relations tab and name it as say "interCoDimension3" (You can see three more similar relations with suffix 0, 1 and 2 for three standard dimensions). Now set the property table of this relations as "Dimensions". Create a new "Normal" relation under this realtion tab and set the property "Field" = "OffsetCompany" and property "RelatedField" = "dataAreaId". Create another "Normal" relation under this relation tab and set the property "Field" = "InterCoDimension[4]" and property "RelatedField" = "Num". Now create a new "Related field fixed" relation under this tab and set property "Value" = 3 (this is the value of the new enum element created in SysDimension) and property "Related field" = "DimensionCode". Save the changes.

The new financial dimension is successfully created in AX and can be viewed in different forms through out the AX where ever dimensions are used. After that first do compilation and then Synchronization then it will effect.

Please Don’t try it in Production directly …Try it in Test

Using File path on a form getting Error in Axapta

By
Hi Folks, After a long time am coming  back to posting few new things here for AX Developer... When we want to select the file path in form level. Normally what we will do create one EDT and extends with filepath (EDT), but that time when you are trying to select the path we will get error like stack-trace/Error message .Don’t worry there is no problem with your ax application. Simple we need to provide the method to the form like filepathLookUpTitle (). Below method we need to add it into form level methods, i.e. str filePathLookupTitle() {     return "Select document folder"; } Thanks Happy Daxing....

How to add Filter functionality to Display method in dynamics AXAPTA
