To avoid posting entries with contradictory or irrelevant
dimensions, you can block or limit specific combinations of two
dimensions. A blocked dimension combination means that you cannot
post both dimensions on the same entry no matter what the dimension
values are. A limited dimension combination allows you to post both
dimensions to the same entry, but only for certain combinations of
dimension values.
Click the AssistButton in the field of the dimension
combination and select one of the following options:
<Blank>
This dimension combination has no
restrictions. All dimensions values are allowed.
Limited
This dimension combination has
restrictions depending on which dimension values you enter. You
must define the limitations in the Dimension Value Combination window.
Blocked
This dimension combination is not
allowed.
If you selected the option Limited, you must define which
combinations of dimension values are blocked. To do this, click the
AssistButton in the field of the dimension
combination.
Now select the dimension value combination and click the
AssistButton in the field. Then select the
option Blocked. A blank field
means that the dimension value combination is allowed.
Note
The same dimensions are displayed in both rows
and columns and, therefore, all dimension combinations appear
twice. The program automatically displays the setting in both
fields. You cannot select anything in the fields from the
upper-left corner and down, because these fields have the same
dimension in both rows and columns.
The selected option is not visible before you
exit the field.
To show the name of the dimensions instead of
the code, place a check mark in the Show Column Name field.
