General Ledger, Journal names, Journal setup

Over the last couple of months I noticed that people often get confused about the setup of journals and posting restrictions. Within this post I aim to shed some light on the following questions that I often came across:

Question 1:
How to ensure that only specific users can select their journals? Example: Only the chief accountant shall be able to create a new General Ledger journal?
Question 2:
How can you prevent others from posting your journal?

In order to answer the first question I setup the following new General Ledger Journal. Please note that this journal is linked to the user group “DOC” that only has a single user assigned to it.
EN_AX7_122_0005
After setting up the new journal, I logged into Dynamics AX with the respective user account (“DOC”) and created a new journal.EN_AX7_122_0010
After logging into Dynamics AX with a different user account I tried to identify the journal that has been created by the chief accountant “DOC”. Yet, after opening the General Ledger journal form I could not identify (and post) the journal because it was setup for the users included in the user group “DOC” only.
EN_AX7_122_0015
Please note that I also could not create a new “DOC” journal, as the “PROF” user account was not included in the respective user group linked to the journal.
EN_AX7_122_0016

For answering the second question, I setup a new journal that I did not link to a user group. Rather than that, I specified that all of my users can only post the journal they created.
EN_AX7_122_0020
After setting up this second journal, I logged into Dynamics AX as chief accountant “DOC” and created a second journal.
EN_AX7_122_0025

After logging off and logging on again with a different user (“PROF”) I could identify the journal that was created by my chief accountant (“DOC”). Yet, once I tried posting the journal I noticed that I could not post it because of the posting restrictions setup.
EN_AX7_122_0030

To sum up, by linking a specific user group in the blocking section of the journal names setup form you can allow only specific people creating and posting specific journals.
The posting restriction feature allows identifying journals that have been created by other users but can prevent other people from posting journals that you created. However, this requires that you specify and select those users that face this restriction as Dynamics AX does by default not restrict any user from posting other people’s journals.

 

Hope that this post shed some light on the setup of journals and posting restrictions and look forward to seeing you in the next posts again.

Max. Number of Financial Dimensions

Account Structures, Dynamics AX 2012, General Ledger, Number of financial dimensions

If you needs to work with more than 10 financial dimensions – in addition to the main account – you will quickly notice that you are not able to add more than 10 financial dimensions in the account structure configuration window (see the following screenshot).
EN_20-01x

This does, however, not mean that you are not able to work with more than 10 financial dimensions in Dynamics AX 2012. That is because another 11 financial dimensions can be added via the advanced rule structure window allowing you to make use of 21 financial dimensions in total. Example:
EN_20-02x EN_20-03x

All of those 21 financial dimensions can be analyzed via the Dynamics AX Management Reporter. Example:
EN_20-04x

If you try to do a similar analysis via the trial balance list page in Dynamics AX you will notice that this cannot be done without making a system modification because the required financial dimension set only accepts a max. number of 11 financial dimensions (main account + max. 10 financial dimensions).
EN_20-05x

A possible workaround is setting up several financial dimension sets that include max. 11 financial dimensions.
