Dimensions in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central are different analysis categories that allow users to track and analyze transactions. A common request with dimensions is the need to make these required in any transaction. To make a dimension required, you would have to set the dimension within the G/L account card.
Please find the steps below:
Search for the Chart of Accounts window and select the highlighted option below.
NOTE: In our example, we will make the dimension “STORE” mandatory for our Income accounts.
Select the account(s) that you will be assigning a dimension code.
If assigning to multiple accounts use the “Select More” option to mark the necessary accounts.
Go to Navigate > Dimensions
Select Dimensions-Single if you are only assigning a dimension setting to one GL account
Select Dimensions-Multiple to assign the same dimension settings to multiple GL accounts.
In the Default Dimensions window, click on New to set up the dimension requirement.
Select the Dimension Code that you want to make required for these accounts.
Leave Dimensions Value Code blank and set the Value Posting field to “Code Mandatory”.
Click “OK” to save the change.
Once this change is saved, all sales transactions will need the dimension code “STORE” to be populated in order to post. If the dimension is missing, they will receive the following message.
