When posting a Nominal Journal there are two sections that relate to Dimensions:
As you can see, the first 'Di' is currently greyed out and unavailable to use. To activate this, enabling you to post to an Dimension item, you must enter a Nominal Code that has been set up in Dimension rules.
Once you have selected your nominal you can see that the ‘0’ underneath the first ‘Ex’ turns blue and underlined.
When you click into this number you get the expense control items popup. You choose your group and then item. Mandatory groups will already be displayed. Once you have chosen your group, choose your item.
You can add multiple groups/items to the posting. Additional optional groups can be deleted which is why it has a red X
Add a debit value and a narrative and hit add.
You can see under Di the number will reflect what we have added to the posting.
Then, you need to add a Nominal Code to credit, and match the creditor balance with the debtor balance to allow you to complete the journal.
Once you hit Complete, you will receive a popup box saying that the process has been completed successfully, and it will ask whether you wish to print a daybook.
