    Note

    You can enter dimension values in sales and purchase documents and in all journals. The following procedure is for entering dimension values on a sales document.

  2. Choose the line for which you want to enter dimensions. On the Lines FastTab, on the Line menu, choose Dimensions.

The Edit Dimension Set Entries window may already display some dimensions and their dimension values.

Note that the same window for journals is called the Journal Line Dimension window. For more information, see Default Dimension and Value Posting.

Tip

You can enter up to eight dimensions values directly on the entry line. To insert the available dimensions, use the Choose Columns function.
