System Variable 777: Apply Employee Dimensions to the General Ledger and on Voucher Lines

Use this System Variable to determine if employee reporting dimensions should be applied to lines on creditor invoices and journals.

This System Variable is disabled by default. When it is enabled and an employee is specified on a creditor invoice line or journal entry, other dimensions copy the values associated with the employee. To use this setting, the following configuration is required in Settings > Dimensions > Dimension Setup:
  • Employee (23) dimension should be enabled on the general ledger and/or creditor invoice entry
  • Any dimensions that should automatically follow the employee must be enabled on the general ledger and/or creditor invoice entry and also enabled on employee reporting

You can specify Employee dimensions directly on the individual employee in Employee Resource Card > Settings > Reporting Dimensions. The Department dimension does not need to be set up as a reporting dimension since the department specified in the Basic Employee Settings is always used.

It may be necessary to perform a refresh when modifying System Variable values.
