Prioritize the offset account and financial dimensions of the vendor base data

By default, the data for the offset account and the financial dimensions are transferred from the edoc invoice workflow to edoc invoice cockpit.

However, if edoc invoice has been configured to transfer data on the contra account and financial dimensions, you can prioritize the vendor base data (master data) for lines and financial dimensions in Microsoft Dynamics 365 over the data from edoc invoice and complete it if necessary.

By activating the options, you overwrite potentially existing data for the offset account and the financial dimensions from edoc invoice with the base data from Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations. Various functions for different scenarios are available for the financial dimensions.

Here's how

1. In the navigation bar, click on edoc invoice cockpit > Setup > Bases > Parameters.

2. Open the Invoice section.

3. Move the slider for Prioritize offsetting account from vendor master record to Yes to adopt the offset account of the base data record for the lines.

4. Under Prioritize financial dimensions from vendor master record, select one of the following options:

   1. Transfer financial dimensions completely from the workflow: This function is used to completely transfer all financial dimensions from edoc invoice. Missing financial dimensions are not supplemented with the financial dimensions from the vendor base.

   2. Always overwrite financial dimensions from vendor: This function is used to transfer all financial dimensions completely from the vendor. Missing financial dimensions are not transferred.

   3. Complete missing financial dimensions from accounts payable: This function is used to completely transfer all financial dimensions from edoc invoice. Financial dimensions that have not been transferred are supplemented by the financial dimensions from the vendor base.

   4. Always overwrite financial dimensions from vendor and complete missing financial dimensions from the workflow: This function is used to completely transfer all financial dimensions from the vendor. If a financial dimension has not been defined but is supplied by the workflow, the financial dimension is transferred to the posting record.

5. Move the sliders for Prioritize financial dimensions from journal to Yes to transfer the financial dimensions of the base data record from the Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations journal.
