Accessing dimensions

As we said earlier in this chapter, the difference between global, shortcut, and the remaining dimensions lies in how easy it is to access them.

We are going to see how to access the DEPARTMENT global dimension, the DIVISION shortcut dimension, and the SALESPERSON dimension, which is one of the remaining dimensions.

To see how dimensions can be accessed so we can fill them when creating documents, perform the following steps:

On the Windows client:

  1. Open the Sales Invoices page that you will find by navigating to Departments | Sales & Marketing | Order Processing | Sales Invoices.
  1. Click on the New icon found on the ribbon bar to create a new sales invoice.
  2. In the Sell-to Customer No. field, select customer 62000.
