In Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 how to update a division, department, location cost center as financial dimension by X++ code.

Applied on: Dynamics AX 2012 R3 CU8.
Prerequisite: Basic Dynamics AX 2012 programming knowledge.
Target audience: AX programmers.
Assumption: You are familiar with Dynamics AX 2012.

There was a requirement from one of the functional analyst to update the 3^rd Financial Dimension only. When functional analyst loaded products to Dynamics AX this financial dimension was missing for every product. It was about 90 thousand products. Because of huge number of products, it was possible for him to do it manually. I wrote a X++ job to update it.

Here is the X++ job.

static void updateFinancialDimension(Args _args)

{

    Struct                  struct = new Struct();

    container               financialDimension;

    DimensionDefault        dimensionDefault;

    InventTable             inventTable;

    InventItemGroupItem     inventItemGroupItem;

    ttsBegin;

    select forUpdate inventtable

        where inventTable.dataAreaId == 'your data area id' && inventTable.ItemId == 'Test';

   

    struct.add('Division', '048');

    financialDimension += struct.fields();

    financialDimension += struct.fieldName(1);

    financialDimension += struct.valueIndex(1);

       

    dimensionDefault = AxdDimensionUtil::getDimensionAttributeValueSetId(financialDimension);

       

    if (inventTable.RecId)

    {

        inventTable.DefaultDimension = DimensionDefault;

        inventTable.update();

        //info(inventTable.ItemId);

    }

   

    ttsCommit;

}

After executing the above job I got below result.

Now question is if you need to do it for all the 4 dimensions how to do?

Here I have another X++ job to do it for all the financial dimension fields update.

static void updateAllFinancialDimension(Args _args)

{

    Struct                  struct = new Struct();

    container               ledgerDimension;

    DimensionDefault        dimensionDefault;

    InventTable             inventTable;

    InventItemGroupItem     inventItemGroupItem;

    ttsBegin;

    //while select forUpdate inventtable

    //    where inventTable.dataAreaId == 'your data area id' && inventTable.ItemId == 'Test'

       

    select forUpdate inventtable

        where inventTable.dataAreaId == 'your data area id' && inventTable.ItemId == 'Test';

   

    struct.add('BusinessUnit', '001');

    struct.add('CostCenter', '002');

    struct.add('Division', '033');

    struct.add('Location', '0475486');

    ledgerDimension += struct.fields();

    ledgerDimension += struct.fieldName(1);

    ledgerDimension += struct.valueIndex(1);

    ledgerDimension += struct.fieldName(2);

    ledgerDimension += struct.valueIndex(2);

    ledgerDimension += struct.fieldName(3);

    ledgerDimension += struct.valueIndex(3);

    ledgerDimension += struct.fieldName(4);

    ledgerDimension += struct.valueIndex(4);

    dimensionDefault = AxdDimensionUtil::getDimensionAttributeValueSetId(ledgerDimension);

       

    if (inventTable.RecId)

    {

        inventTable.DefaultDimension = dimensionDefault;

        inventTable.update();

        //info(inventTable.ItemId);

    }

   

    ttsCommit;

}
