Dimension Combination Lines on Imported Job Entries

When you import data for a new company to an existing Maconomy system, any open job entries included in the import must be assigned posting references.

Posting references dictate which account is used for posting.

This feature enables you to easily identify dimension combination lines. This is helpful when you import open job entries. Maconomy creates a job entry and a matching G/L entry on the WIP account, as well as several other G/L entries. However, these entries cannot be used, so the P&L balance based on the imported job entries will be incorrect. If you change the posting references on your job entries so they refer to the conversion account, this ensures that the correct P&L balance will be imported to a G/L journal.

When you change posting references, you can only refer to specific dimension combination lines if you know their line number. Because line numbers can be modified, which makes it an unreliable way to identify dimension combination lines, this enhancement provides an easier way to refer to a specific dimension combination line.

When identifying dimension combination lines, you can use the existing key (DimensionCombNumber, LineNumber) or the following alternative keys:

  • DimensionCombNumber, FromCompanyNumber, ToCompanyNumber
  • DimensionCombNumber, LocalChartOfAccountsName
