Use this form to create and manage dimension set rules. The created dimension sets are displayed in the pane. The attached collections are displayed in the pane. The detailed rules for the collections are displayed in the pane.
If the form is opened from the form, only the selected dimension set is displayed.
Rules connect dimension set hierarchies and application objects like tables, journals, and ledger accounts.
Dimension set rules ensure that the dimension values are entered according to the dimension set rules in forms, journal lines, sales orders, and ledger accounts.
Until a rule is set up for a ledger account, the already existing validation rules in chart of accounts will remain in effect.
