Dimensions Tab
This section describes the fields and actions on the Dimensions tab of the Vendors workspace.
Tab Fields
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Dimension Combination, Name |
Select a value from the dropdown to specify a dimension combination name here (and its description in the next field). If you specify a dimension combination, Maconomy will derive dimensions from the current vendor in the following order:
|
| Dimension Combination, Description | Select a value from the dropdown to specify a dimension combination description here (and its name in the previous field). |
| Location, Name |
Select a value from the dropdown to specify a location dimension name here (and its description in the next field). Maconomy then derives the specified location dimension from the current vendor. The value of this field is suggested when you are entering vendor entries in the vendor invoice journal or the general journal. When posting a vendor journal which was created automatically (for example, a cash discount or a rate variance in connection with a payment), Maconomy will transfer the value of this field to the ledger entries at the time of posting. |
| Location, Description | Select a value from the dropdown to specify a location dimension description here (and its name in the previous field). |
| Location, Overwrite |
Select this checkbox if you want the location dimension value you specified to overwrite any existing values for the dimension. If you leave this checkbox blank, Maconomy will only transfer the location dimension value to a table entry being created if the Location field in that table entry is not filled in (whether manually or through a registration code). If you specified a dimension combination for the current vendor, selecting this checkbox will only take effect if you also specified a location dimension value. If you select this checkbox but do not specify a location dimension, Maconomy ignores the checkbox value. Dimension values and overwriting specifications are always retrieved together. |
| Project, Name |
Select a value from the dropdown to specify a project dimension name here (and its description in the next field). Maconomy then derives the specified project dimension from the current vendor. The value of this field is suggested when you are entering vendor entries in the vendor invoice journal or the general journal. When posting a vendor journal which was created automatically (for example, a cash discount or a rate variance in connection with a payment), Maconomy will transfer the value of this field to the ledger entries at the time of posting. |
| Project, Description | Select a value from the dropdown to specify a project dimension description here (and its name in the previous field). |
| Project, Overwrite |
Select this checkbox if you want the project dimension value you specified to overwrite any existing values for the dimension. If you leave this checkbox blank, Maconomy will only transfer the project dimension value to a table entry being created if the Project field in that table entry is not filled in (whether manually or through a registration code). If you specified a dimension combination for the current vendor, selecting this checkbox will only take effect if you also specified a project dimension value. If you select this checkbox but do not specify a project dimension, Maconomy ignores the checkbox value. Dimension values and overwriting specifications are always retrieved together. |
| Purpose, Name |
Select a value from the dropdown to specify a purpose dimension name here (and its description in the next field). Maconomy then derives the specified purpose dimension from the current vendor. The value of this field is suggested when you are entering vendor entries in the vendor invoice journal or the general journal. When posting a vendor journal which was created automatically (for example, a cash discount or a rate variance in connection with a payment), Maconomy will transfer the value of this field to the ledger entries at the time of posting. |
| Purpose, Description | Select a value from the dropdown to specify a purpose dimension description here (and its name in the previous field). |
| Purpose, Overwrite |
Select this checkbox if you want the purpose dimension value you specified to overwrite any existing values for the dimension. If you leave this checkbox blank, Maconomy will only transfer the purpose dimension value to a table entry being created if the Purpose field in that table entry is not filled in (whether manually or through a registration code). If you specified a dimension combination for the current vendor, selecting this checkbox will only take effect if you also specified a purpose dimension value. If you select this checkbox but do not specify a purpose dimension, Maconomy ignores the checkbox value. Dimension values and overwriting specifications are always retrieved together. |
| Entity, Name |
Select a value from the dropdown to specify an entity dimension name here (and its description in the next field). Maconomy then derives the specified entity dimension from the current vendor. The value of this field is suggested when you are entering vendor entries in the vendor invoice journal or the general journal. When posting a vendor journal which was created automatically (for example, a cash discount or a rate variance in connection with a payment), Maconomy will transfer the value of this field to the ledger entries at the time of posting. |
| Entity, Description | Select a value from the dropdown to specify an entity dimension description here (and its name in the previous field). |
| Entity, Overwrite |
Select this checkbox if you want the entity dimension value you specified to overwrite any existing values for the dimension. If you leave this checkbox blank, Maconomy will only transfer the entity dimension value to a table entry being created if the Entity field in that table entry is not filled in (whether manually or through a registration code). If you specified a dimension combination for the current vendor, selecting this checkbox will only take effect if you also specified an entity dimension value. If you select this checkbox but do not specify an entity dimension, Maconomy ignores the checkbox value. Dimension values and overwriting specifications are always retrieved together. |
Specification island
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Specification 1 - 10, Name |
Select a value from the dropdown to specify a specification dimension name here (and its description in the next field). Maconomy then derives this specification dimension from the current vendor. The value of this field is suggested when you are entering vendor entries in the vendor invoice journal or the general journal.

If you specified a dimension combination for the current vendor, selecting this checkbox will only take effect if you also specified a specification dimension value. If you select this checkbox but do not specify a specification dimension, Maconomy ignores the checkbox value. Dimension values and overwriting specifications are always retrieved together. |
Local Specification island
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Local Specification 1 - 10, Name |
Select a value from the dropdown to specify a local specification dimension name here (and its description in the next field). Maconomy then derives this local specification dimension from the current vendor. The value of this field is suggested when you are entering vendor entries in the vendor invoice journal or the general journal.

| Local Specification 1 - 10, Overwrite |
Select this checkbox if you want the local specification dimension value you specified to overwrite any existing values for the dimension. If you leave this checkbox blank, Maconomy will only transfer the local specification dimension value to a table entry being created if the Local Specification 1 - 10 field in that table entry is not filled in (whether manually or through a registration code). If you specified a dimension combination for the current vendor, selecting this checkbox will only take effect if you also specified a local specification dimension value. If you select this checkbox but do not specify a local specification dimension, Maconomy ignores the checkbox value. Dimension values and overwriting specifications are always retrieved together. |
