Block a Dimension - AX 2009

In some cases, a business may require to block an existing dimension from being selected while posting a transaction. It can be a temporary or a permanent requirement.

While the AX system does not allow users to delete dimensions once transactions are posted with the dimension, it does allow blocking the dimension from being selected.

Path: General Ledger >> Common Forms >> Dimensions


Select the Dimension from the drop-down in the header section of the form. Filter for the particular dimension value that needs to be blocked in the Line level of the form.
Check the closed check box.

The users will not be able to select or view the closed dimension at postings.

Note: In cases where a new dimension is created and assigned in the Dimension Structure appropriately, yet the user is unable to select the dimension, it is advised to check if the dimension is set to closed in the Dimensions Master.
