Dimension Combination Lines Sub-Tab
This section includes the fields and descriptions for the Dimension Combination Lines sub-tab.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Line Description | In this field, you can enter a description of the current dimension combination line. |
| From Company No. | Together with the field “To Company No.,” this field constitutes a range of company numbers. When the current dimension combination is used as a result of an entry being made, Maconomy will check if the dimension combination contains a line with a company number range which matches the company to which the entry pertains. If this is the case, Maconomy will apply the dimension specifications entered on the dimension combination line instead of the specifications from the card part of the window. This way, it is possible to create lines with company-specific exceptions to the values in the card part. If more than one line match the company to which the entry pertains, the topmost of those table lines is applied. If no lines match the company to which the entry pertains, or if no lines have been created at all, Maconomy will only use the information in the card part.
For more information about how Maconomy assigns priorities to the use of values from dimension derivation islands, dimension combinations, and dimension combination lines, please see the introduction to this workspace and the description of the field “Account No.” in the Dimension Combinations tab and the Dimension Combination Lines sub-tab. |
| To Company No. | The functionality of this field is described in the field “From Company No.” above. |
| Company Name | If the same company number is specified in the fields “From Company No.” and “To Company No.,” this field shows the name of the company in question. Otherwise, this field is blank. |
| Local Spec. 1-10 List | In these fields you can specify a Local Spec.1-3 list. When an entry is made in a company where the Local Spec. 1-10 list assigned to the company matches the Local Spec. 1-10 list on the line, the dimension values on the line will be applied to the entry. |
| Account No. | In this field, you can specify a dimension value for the Account dimension, if you want this value to be derived whenever the current dimension combination is used. If you also want the specified value to overwrite existing dimension values when it is derived, mark the field “Overwrite Account.” If you do not select “Overwrite Account,” the dimension value will only be derived if the dimension field into which the value is derived is neither completed manually nor through a registration code. If the dimension combination type is “Posting Reference,” you must always mark the field “Overwrite Account” when you specify an account number.
When an entry is made, on which the current dimension combination is to be applied, the value in this field will only be used if the current line is the top line of those lines that match the number of the company to which the entry pertains. The company number range is specified in the fields “Company No. From” and “Company No. To.” If the dimension combination type is “Dimension Derivation,” the value will only be used when deriving from information cards which refer to the dimension combination, and where no derivation value for the Account dimension has been entered. A value in this field will not be used if the dimension combination has been assigned to an account information card in the Account Information Card workspace. This means that if the dimension combination, for example, has been selected for the account no. 1110 in the Account Information Card workspace, a value in this field will not be applied when dimensions are derived from account number 1110. Please note that a mark in the field “Overwrite Account” will only have effect if an account is also specified. If you only mark the field “Overwrite Account,” but do not specify an account, the overwrite mark is ignored, as the account and the overwrite mark are always retrieved together from the same dimension derivation island, dimension combination, or dimension combination line. For more information about derived dimensions, please see “Introduction to the G/L Module” and the description of the Dimension Derivations workspace. You can find more information about the priority of the values in the Dimension Combinations tab in relation to company-specific values and values on the individual information cards in the introduction to this workspace. |
| Account Name | This field shows the name of the account specified in the field “Account No.”. |
| Overwrite Account | In this field, you can specify if any value specified in the field “Account No.” on the current line should overwrite existing account values on entries when the account number is derived from the current dimension combination line. The value in this field only has effect if an account has been specified on the current line. If you mark the field, but do not specify an account, the overwrite mark is ignored, as the account and the overwrite mark are always retrieved together from the same dimension derivation island, dimension combination, or dimension combination line.
For more information about the meaning of overwriting in connection with derived dimensions, please see the description of the field “Account No.” above. Furthermore, please see the section about dimension derivation in “Introduction to the G/L Module” and the description of the Dimension Derivations workspace. You can find more information about the priority of the values in the Dimension Combinations tab in relation to company-specific values and values on the individual information cards in the introduction to this workspace window. |

If it is, Maconomy checks whether the local spec. value entered in this field is also available in the local spec. list assigned to the companies in question. |

| Local Spec. 1-10 | The functionality of these fields is similar to that of the field “Account No.” |
| Local Spec. 1-10, Description | If the same company number is specified in the fields “From Company No.” and “To Company No.,” these fields show a description of the local specification values entered in the fields “Local Spec. 1-10.” Otherwise, this field is blank. |
| Overwrite Local Spec. 1-3 | The functionality of these fields is similar to that of the field “Overwrite Account.” |
