We are considering a decision to change the way we have had our financial dimensions set up on our released products because it may be creating more work, but I want to reach out to make sure we are considering all the ramifications of a decision like this.
The reason we are making the change is because every time we do an inventory adjustment, counting journal, or production order, we are currently having to change the financial dimension 'Division' on the transaction lines to the correct division. The inventory/production division is different than the sales division, but after some testing it appears that the sales orders will take the customer's financial dimensions rather than the product's dimensions. We were advised to have the product financial dimension be whatever we want the product to have for sales purposes, but if the sales order lines are inheriting their financial dimensions from the customer record, we do not need to have that released product financial dimensions default set to the sales value.
I'm sure I'm leaving out some critical information, but this is our thought process right now. Are we oversimplifying this? Is there some areas we are not considering that would be hugely impacted? Any thoughts would be helpful.
