What it does

The add-in adds separate dimensions for items, customers, vendors, and statistical data in Business Central. Dimension values can be maintained from item, customer, and vendor pages, then viewed and filtered in ledger entries. The add-in synchronizes these values with default dimensions and restricts lookup choices according to configured filters. Item templates can combine fixed text with dimension placeholders to create item descriptions and translated descriptions.
