Disable financial dimensions in AX 2012 through code
Disabling particular financial dimension based on record or on particular form quite tricky in AX 2012 compared to AX 2009.
Here is an example to achieve disabling Business unit financial dimension on Customers form in AX 2012.
Process to disable Business Unit financial dimension on Customers form.
1. Create a new parm method in ‘DimensionDefaultingControllerBase’ class as shown below
void parmEditableDimensionAttributeSetId(RefRecId _editableDimensionAttributeSetId = editableDimensionAttributeSetId)
{
editableDimensionAttributeSetId = _editableDimensionAttributeSetId;
}
2. Create a new method in ‘CustTable’ form as shown below
private void setDimensionAttributeSetStorage()
{
DimensionAttribute dimAttr;
DimensionAttributeSetItem dimAttrSetItem;
DimensionEnumeration dimensionSetId = DimensionCache::getDimensionAttributeSetForLedger();
DimensionAttributeSetStorage dimensionAttributeSetStorage;
;
dimensionAttributeSetStorage = new DimensionAttributeSetStorage();
while select * from dimAttr
order by Name
where dimAttr.Type != DimensionAttributeType::MainAccount
join RecId from dimAttrSetItem
where dimAttrSetItem.DimensionAttribute == dimAttr.RecId &&
dimAttrSetItem.DimensionAttributeSet == dimensionSetId
{
if (dimAttr.Name != 'BusinessUnit') // Except BusinessUnit rest should enable
dimensionAttributeSetStorage.addItem(dimAttr.RecId, dimAttr.HashKey,NoYes::Yes);
}
dimensionDefaultingController.parmEditableDimensionAttributeSetId(dimensionAttributeSetStorage.save());
}
3. Add below highlighted code in ‘init’ method of ‘CustTable’ form as shown below
Calling newly created method before dimensionDefaultingController.pageActivated();
dimensionDefaultingController = DimensionDefaultingController::constructInTabWithValues(true, true, true, 0, this, tabFinancialDimensions, "@SYS138487");
dimensionDefaultingController.parmAttributeValueSetDataSource(custTable_ds,fieldStr(CustTable, DefaultDimension));
// Added by Shankar on 25/11/2013 DisableFinDimensions - Begin
this.setDimensionAttributeSetStorage();
// Added by Shankar on 25/11/2013 DisableFinDimensions - End
dimensionDefaultingController.pageActivated();
4. Now open Customers form & check financial dimensions tab it shows as below.
Can see Business Unit financial dimension disabled, highlighted one.
