Using Dimensions on System Entries and Check VAT Key on a G/L Account
In Business Central, dimensions are used to add additional context to transactions by categorizing entries with tags like departments, projects, or customer groups. These dimensions can then be used in reporting and analysis to gain more detailed insights into the business operations.
Using dimensions on system entries
On each G/L Account Card, you have the following options to choose from in Dimension for System Entries:
- Gen. Jnl. Line (Always) - Always copy dimensions from the entered general journal line
- G/L Account (Always) - Copy dimensions from the default G/L account dimensions for system postings
- G/L Account (if empty Gen. Jnl. Line) - Copy dimensions from the default G/L account dimensions if no general journal line information is entered
These values are used for system postings, such as the Adjust Exchange Rate, to determine the dimensions in the postings.
Enable Check VAT Key on a G/L account
With this feature enabled on a G/L account, the system checks the VAT key for all postings to this G/L account. If this key does not match that of the G/L account, an error message appears. Consequently, the corresponding G/L account is also checked during the shipping and invoicing of purchase and sales documents with items.
To enable Check VAT Key on a G/L account, follow these steps:
- Go to the G/L Account Card for the G/L account for which you want to enable Check VAT Key.
- In the Continia Finance FastTab, enable Check VAT Key.
