Value Posting Field

The Default Dimension Table

Here you specify how default dimensions and their values must be used. To select among the available options, click the AssistButton in the field:

<Blank>

Select this option if no value posting criteria are specified for the default dimension when using this account or account type. The default dimension can be posted with any dimension value or with no dimension value.

Code Mandatory

Select this option if the default dimension for this account or account type must have a dimension value when posting, but any dimension value is acceptable.

Same Code

Select this option if the default dimension for this account or account type must always have the same dimension value code as that selected in the Dimension Value Code field.

No Code

Select this option if you do not want dimension value codes to be used with this account or account type.

If you have specified a value posting rule for an account type default dimension, the value posting rules you have specified for individual accounts may conflict with the account type value posting rules. For example, if you have set up a customer account with value posting No Code and then specify that all customer accounts should have a particular default dimension value code, a conflict will exist. In this example, the program cannot both disallow the use of a dimension value code while also allowing the use of a default dimension value code.

To check for value posting conflicts, you can use the Check Value Posting report.
