To require a dimension value for every GL account used in a transaction, where should you select the dimension?

Selecting the dimension value requirement for every GL account used in a transaction is done on the GL Account Screen. This setting ensures that whenever a GL account is involved in a transaction, the designated dimension value must be selected or provided. Configuring the dimension at this level helps maintain data integrity and ensures that reporting and analysis can effectively utilize dimensions linked to specific accounts.

The GL Account Screen is specifically designed for managing characteristics related to general ledger (GL) accounts, including dimension settings. This functionality is essential for organizations that wish to track and analyze expenses or revenues against various dimensions, such as departments, locations, or projects.

Configuring dimension values in other areas, such as transaction screens or user role settings, would not enforce the requirement at the account level, leading to potential data entry errors or inconsistencies in financial reporting. Therefore, managing dimension value requirements through the GL Account Screen is key to ensuring accurate accounting practices.
