We need to track AR and AP by division. The account structure is configured so the division financial dimension is optional. The majority of our purchases are driven by project which will always have a division financial dimension. When a vendor invoice or AP invoice is created, the financial dimension is recorded correctly on the voucher and the vendor transaction. Our problem is when we make a payment, the division financial dimension from the invoice is not picked up on the AP side of the payment voucher. This seems like a defect because if I post the invoice to AP with a financial dimension, it needs to come out of AP with the same financial dimension. On the AR side, this works as expected: invoice posts with the division financial dimension and when payment is posted, the financial dimension from the invoice is included on the AR side of the payment voucher.
There is a very old post for this issue (
Dynamics Community Forum Thread Details) recommending enabling the Russian localization configuration which would make an /Inherit financial dimension from invoice/ setting available on the AP parameters/Ledger and sales tax screen. This does not seem like the appropriate resolution given we are in the US.
I can see that pulling financial dimension from the ap invoice might pose a challenge if a vendor payment is settling multiple invoices with different dimensions, however my expectation is that the voucher would simply split the AP side by financial dimension as necessary.
