To avoid posting entries with contradictory or irrelevant dimensions, you can block or limit specific combinations of two dimensions. A blocked dimension combination means that you cannot post both dimensions on the same entry regardless of what the dimension values are. A limited dimension combination lets you post both dimensions to the same entry, but only for certain combinations of dimension values.

To set up dimension combinations

  1. In the Search box, enter Dimension Combinations, and then choose the related link.

  2. In the Dimension Combinations window, choose the field of the dimension combination and select one of the following options.

    Option Description

    No limitation

    This dimension combination has no restrictions. All dimensions values are allowed.

    Limit

    This dimension combination has restrictions depending on which dimension values that you enter. You must define the limitations in the Dimension Value Combination window.

    Blocked

    This dimension combination is not allowed.

  3. If you selected the Limited option, you must define which combinations of dimension values are blocked. To do this, choose the field to define the dimension combination.

  4. Now select a dimension value combination that is blocked and enter Blocked in the field. A blank field means that the dimension value combination is allowed. Repeat if multiple combinations are blocked.

Note
The same dimensions are displayed in both rows and columns and, therefore, all dimension combinations appear two times. Microsoft Dynamics NAV automatically displays the setting in both fields. You cannot select anything in the fields from the upper-left corner and down, because these fields have the same dimension in both rows and columns.

The selected option is not visible before you exit the field.

To show the name of the dimensions instead of the code, select the Show Column Name field.
