How add financial dimension on forms inside Ax2012


1.      Perform
a)      Open AOT>>Data Dictionary>>Extended Data Types type/select DimensionDefault and drag it in table which will be used further as a datasource in form where you have to show the Dimensions. Do Remember  that you have to drag it in table not at DataSource.
b)     Open Table in the Data, Dictionary which will be used as a Datasource, and create a realtion with table DimensionAttributeValueSet .

Source EDT= DimensionDefault
Related Field=RecId

2.      Verify that the table that will hold the foreign key to the DimensionAttributeValueSet table is a
data source on the form(the one on which you have to show dimensions).
3.      Create a tab that will contain the financial dimensions control. This control is often the only
data shown on the tab because the number of financial dimensions can be large.
4.   set properties of Tab as under
a)      Set the Name metadata of the tab to TabFinancialDimensions.
b)     Set the AutoDeclaration metadata of the tab to Yes.
c)      Set the Caption metadata of the tab to @SYS101181 (Financial dimensions).

       5.  Override the pageActivated method on the new tab
public void pageActivated()
{
    dimDefaultingController.pageActivated();

    super();
}
      6.   Override the following methods on the form.
class declaration
public class FormRun extends ObjectRun
{
    DimensionDefaultingController dimDefaultingController;
}
init (for the form):
public void init()
{
    super();
    dimDefaultingController=DimensionDefaultingController::constructInTabWithValues(
      true, 
      true, 
      true, 
      0, 
      this, 
      tabFinancialDimensions, 
      "@SYS138487");

    dimDefaultingController.parmAttributeValueSetDataSource(myTable_ds,
    fieldstr(myTable, DefaultingDimension));
}
    7.      Override the following methods on the form data source
            public int active()
{
    int ret;
    ret = super();
    dimDefaultingController.activated();
    return ret;
}
public void write()
{
    dimDefaultingController.writing();

    1. As far as I know u can't hide manually, dimensions are rendered thru classes which picks active dimensions from Accounting structure. So if some dimension is not reqd need then accounting structure configuration has to be changed.

    1. Hy Rizwan,

      Dimension framework has been changed completely. So now it works wd account structure only. Number of dimensions setup in account structure will deploy on forms. We cannot explicitly deploy only one of the dimension.

      Best recommendation is to add it in a group only, even for only view purpose.

  7. Mukesh,
    Your post is great. Quick question, how easy is it to have financial dimensions to be displayed on the form grid the way we do when selecting a ledger account. This i need to use for fixed assets. I have a requirment to do that in order to enhance usability.
    Regards,
    Isaac.

  10. How Mr Benjamin Lee service grant me a loan!!!

    Hello everyone, I'm Lea Paige Matteo from Zurich Switzerland and want to use this medium to express gratitude to Mr Benjamin service for fulfilling his promise by granting me a loan, I was stuck in a financial situation and needed to refinance and pay my bills as well as start up a Business. I tried seeking for loans from various loan firms both private and corporate organisations but never succeeded and most banks declined my credit request. But as God would have it, I was introduced by a friend named Lisa Rice to this funding service and undergone the due process of obtaining a loan from the company, to my greatest surprise within 5 working days just like my friend Lisa, I was also granted a loan of $216,000.00 So my advise to everyone who desires a loan, "if you must contact any firm with reference to securing a loan online with low interest rate of 1.9% rate and better repayment plans/schedule, please contact this funding service. Besides, he doesn't know that am doing this but due to the joy in me, I'm so happy and wish to let people know more about this great company whom truly give out loans, it is my prayer that GOD should bless them more as they put smiles on peoples faces. You can contact them via email on { 247officedept@gmail.com} or Text through Whatsapp +1-989 394 3740.
