  • Line Description
  • Dimensions 1–4
Notes:
  • The ability to edit dimensions on a posted document is controlled by the Enable Edit Dimensions (after posting) field in the Accounting Settings custom setting. If you find you cannot edit dimensions on a posted document, contact your administrator.
  • If you edit a pre-existing dimension on a posted document, the new one must have the same currency as before, or be home, document or dual currency. If you add a new dimension to a posted document where one didn't exist previously, it must be in document, home or dual currency.
  • You cannot edit dimensions on a posted document if its period is closed. This validation is unaffected by the custom setting.
  • You can use the standard Salesforce tracking field history feature on the transaction line item custom object to track changes to these fields. See the Salesforce Help for more information. Remember to add the Transaction Line Item History related list to your page layout.
