3 AX2012R2-DS003 Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2 Sub Ledger Integration Demo Script
INTRODUCTION
This document examines the rule based approach to posting to the general ledger (GL) from subledger
accounts in Microsoft Dynamics® AX 2012 R2. The demo script helps familiarizes the audience with the
new features that are included in this release. The primary objective of this demo script is to provide the
user with an overview of the new rule-based policies in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2, and how it can
support the overall goals of reducing the number of transactions.
This document and its included script:
Demonstrates the configurable reduction in general ledger entries generated by subledger activities
such as sales invoices and purchase invoices.
Explains how rule bound transfers from subledger to GL entries allow for dimension coherence
verification, thus ensuring consistent reporting.
Explains how the direct integration of allocation rules in the process improves the effectiveness of
allocations and the overall performance of the system.
Demonstrates the improved data entry speed as a result of reducing the number of transactions
generated directly during subledger operations.
AUDIENCE
The script in this document should be used to demonstrate the value of Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2
to a business decision maker (BDM). The executives that you present to will find value in this script if they
are challenged with:
Excessive GL transactions being generated by their current Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)
solution, resulting in a combination of complicated reporting issues related to the number of
transactions, and complicated or non-functional allocations.
Issues during month- and year-end reconciliations as a result of the heavy volume of transactions
that need to be validated.
Accounting entries being posted to the GL before being previewed due to a lack of accounting rules
enforcement.
Poor subledger performance and excessive time spent to split accounting entries across entities due
to lack of distribution rules.
This script targets CFOs who rely on members of the organization for accurate, timely, and detailed
information to assist them in the analysis and performance tracking of key business metrics. This script
also targets accounting managers who are unable to verify how subledger entries will be made, and
whether or not they will contain the expected values before they are posted.
4 AX2012R2-DS003 Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2 Sub Ledger Integration Demo Script
SCENARIO
This script focuses on the following processes:
Financial dimension templates: Manage how financial transactions are split into financial
dimensions and posted in the general ledger based on the subledger documents.
o Accounting distributions
o Batch transfer rules
o Summarization to general ledger
Review subledger journal: How to view transactions before they are posted through the source
documents.
Procure to pay: Show how accounting distributions can be used in the procure-to-pay process
and preview of general ledger transactions prior to posting a document.
o Accounting distributions
o Subledger journal entries
o Accounting events
PROBLEMS THIS DEMO ADDRESSES
This script focuses on solving issues around lack of rule based policies needed to ensure subledger
transactions are posted in a batch format, enabling managers to view transaction information before
posted and simplifying time consuming data entry processes.
KEY PAINS OR BUSINESS IMPERATIVES
Managing the level of detailed information transferred into the GL.
Ensuring non accounting staff can perform operational tasks while conforming to the accounting
rules.
Verifying subledger transactions prior to journalizing and posting to the GL.
PURPOSE OF DEMO (SOLUTIONS TO PAINS, BENEFITS, VALUE PROPOSITION)
Accounts receivable clerks:
Benefit from being able to configure the distribution template for revenue allocation and configure certain
document types to adhere to the distribution template.
Purchasing agents:
5 AX2012R2-DS003 Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2 Sub Ledger Integration Demo Script
Benefit from being able to enter one line on a purchase order and split the expense across two different
cost centers. They also benefit from being able to easily change the accounting distributions on a
purchase order without having to reissue a new purchase order.
Accounting managers:
Benefit from being able to view subledger transactions before they are posted to the general ledger to
insure all transaction are accurately summarized and completed.
Accounts payable clerk:
Benefit from being able to easily modify invoices while the system makes sure any changes on the
extended price are rolled down to the price variance and the miscellaneous charges.
KEY BENEFITS AND SOLUTIONS
Improved subledger document generation: GL to subledger integration with easily maintainable
and configurable links.
Simplified subledger document generation: Due to the batch and verifiable nature of the link
from the subledgers to the GL, the subledger data entry process is simplified and made less
dependent upon GL constraints.
Simplified reporting and reconciliation: The traceability and reporting included in Microsoft
Dynamics AX 2012 R2 allows the accounting manager to review and easily reconcile all subledger
transactions to the corresponding GL entries. The fiscal reporting tools provide reporting capabilities
to help meet even complicated reporting requirements.
The subledger transactions generate summarized transactions in the GL on a periodic basis. This
allows a simplified subledger-to-GL reconciliation both on a periodic basis as well as on an annual
basis. An added benefit is that generating accurate reporting that has been validated becomes much
simpler due to the reduced number of transactions present.
Simplified retroactive allocations: Due to the reduced number of transactions, it becomes much
simpler to allocate retroactively (for example, fixed structural costs onto the operational accounting
entries). The allocation rules in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2 allow users to easily create cost-
based as well as revenue-based allocations to allow for balance sheets by product family or item
level as well as customer family or the individual customer account level, depending upon the
requirements you have, without generating overhead due to the large number of transactions
present.
DEMO PRESET CONFIGURATION: This script was written to work with the Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2 RTM Virtual Machine (VM),
released in December 2012. Make sure that the VM is up and running and that you have logged on. The
script addresses key pain points and challenges that different roles might face. However the demo can be
completed as the system administrator.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN
OVERVIEW
Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2 introduces the Financial Integration Framework, which is a fully
configurable toolset to be used by the accounting team to define how documents generated in the
subledger modules are posted in the GL. The following provides a list of demonstrations covered in this
script, which are done in the USMF legal entity:
Financial dimensions templates
Review of subledger journals
Procure to pay
7 AX2012R2-DS003 Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2 Sub Ledger Integration Demo Script
DEMO 1: FINANCIAL DIMENSION DEFAULT TEMPLATES
Scenario and background
In Microsoft Dynamics 2012 R2, you can separate the operations and accounting processes in order to streamline
and simplify data entry. On the operations side, users can be more productive because they no longer have to
worry about the accounting effects their documents will have on financials. Users can also edit financial dimension
templates and the distribution of expenses and revenues to different cost centers or departments without having to
deal with the accounting entries.
In this scenario, Arnie, the accounts receivable clerk, creates a new financial dimension template. Arnie then creates
a new batch transfer rule to limit free text invoice document types from being posted synchronously and instead
they post on a pre-defined schedule. Finally, Arnie will create a free text invoice and apply the new template to that
invoice. Once applied, Arnie can choose to use the template distribution, which allocates revenue to the different
financial dimensions, or to edit the template to allocate revenue to other financial dimensions.
1. Log on as Arnie. (In this scenario, log on as the
Administrator.)
2. Navigate to General Ledger > Setup >
Financial dimensions > Financial dimension
default templates.
3. Click New to add a new template.
4. Enter DepartmentSplit into the template ID
field.
5. Select the first template row.
6. Change the value to 10.
7. Select 007 from the list of cost centers, and 022
from the list of departments.
8. On the Action Pane, select Add.
9. Add two other distribution records:
Value: 30, CostCenter 010, Department 023
Value: 60, CostCenter 014, Department 025
10. Click Close.
8 AX2012R2-DS003 Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2 Sub Ledger Integration Demo Script
Notice there is no main account in this template. This is the key difference between the allocation accounts and the
templates. This means that this template can be applied to any main account. Templates can be applied to multiple
document types, for example, a purchasing document or a sales document. The users define the specified
percentage of the source document amount that will be distributed to the different financial dimensions.
Now Arnie sets up the batch transfer rules.
11. Open General Ledger > Setup > General
ledger parameters.
12. In the left Navigation bar, select Batch transfer
rules.
13. Click Add.
One batch transfer rule is already set up. This rule enforces that all transactions for all companies and source
documents in the system will be transferred from the subledger to the general ledger synchronously without being
summarized. In this scenario, Arnie creates a new rule that applies to free text invoices summarizing and
transferring the subledger journal entries to the general ledger journal using a scheduled batch.
14. Select the source document type Free text
invoice.
15. Select Scheduled Batch under the Transfer
mode.
16. Select Yes under the Summarize accounting
entries.
17. Click Close.
Arnie will now create a free text invoice and review how the system will generate GL entries for those transactions.
Arnie will also have the ability to edit the invoice lines and quickly split amounts between different accounts with
the built in tools.
18. Go to Accounts receivable > Common > Free
text invoices > All free text invoices.
19. On the Action Pane, click Free text invoice.
9 AX2012R2-DS003 Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2 Sub Ledger Integration Demo Script
20. On the Free text invoice FastTab, select the
customer account US-003.
21. On the Action Pane, click Header view.
22. Expand the Financial dimensions FastTab.
23. In the Template ID field, select
DepartmentSplit.
Note: this was the template Arnie had created
previously. It will be used to distribute the
amounts across departments.
24. Switch back to a Line view to create the free
text invoice lines.
25. Enter Service Charge as the description.
26. Enter 401 in the Main account field. Notice that
the system displays available accounts. Select
401200 Service Revenues.
27. Set the Sales tax group to CA.
28. In the Amount field, enter 1,000.
29. On the Action Pane, click Sales tax.
30. Verify that sales tax is calculated, and then close
the Sales tax transactions form.
10 AX2012R2-DS003 Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2 Sub Ledger Integration Demo Script
31. On the Invoice tab, on the Action Pane,s, click
Distribute amounts.
The free text invoice amount is distributed across the different departments and cost centers as defined in the
template. The business unit information is used from the free text invoice header because the dimension was blank
in the template.
The first segment is the main account, followed by
the business unit, department, cost center, and then
the item group.
The taxes are allocated as well to match the
extended price.
Arnie could make adjustments to the allocation if needed. For example, he could delete a
distribution line or split an existing line and modify the copied financial dimension information.
32. Select Extended price: 1,000.00 USD.
33. On the right side, select line 3.
34. Change the percent to 50%.
35. Click Split.
After changing the percentage and splitting line 3, the system will automatically create a new line and allocate the
remaining amount to that line. Notice the system also copied the ledger account to that new line so that Arnie can
easily change the cost center information, which is the fourth segment. This is done to save Arnie data entry time
because often only one segment needs to be changed.
11 AX2012R2-DS003 Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2 Sub Ledger Integration Demo Script
36. Change the cost center in line 4 to 012.
37. In this case, Arnie would like to use the default
distribution. He clicks Reset, and then Yes to
confirm.
38. Arnie is satisfied with the entry and clicks Close
to go back to the free text invoice.
End of Demo Scenario 1
DEMO 2: REVIEW SUBLEDGER JOURNALS
The separation of operations and accounting processes in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2 provides accounting
users with more visibility by allowing them to see the actual accounting impact of documents prior to journalizing,
thus eliminating a lot of the downstream problems with existing month-end reconciliations. Along with visibility
comes control over what is actually recorded in the general ledger by previewing the accounting impact of
documents and making changes if needed before journalizing.
In this scenario Phyllis, the accounting manager who is responsible for overseeing the accounting department is
able to see the subledger transactions before they are posted to the GL. Phyllis will first review the effect the invoice
created by Arnie in the previous demo had on the subledger journal. Phyllis will then change the accounting rules
in the subledger parameters to show what a detailed and aggregated posting will look like once it is posted to the
GL. After changing the rules, Phyllis will post the invoice and view the GL and the detailed audit trail back to the
subledger.
1. Log on as Phyllis. (Use the administrator
account.)
2. Open Accounts Receivable > Common >
Free text invoices > All free text invoices.
12 AX2012R2-DS003 Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2 Sub Ledger Integration Demo Script
3. Select the free text invoice entry that Arnie
previously created.
4. On the Action Pane, click Edit.
5. On the Action Pane, click Subledger journal.
6. Preview the detailed accounting entries. The
amounts have been distributed across different
departments and cost centers as defined in the
template.
7. The revenue accounts and balance sheet
accounts will be posted per departments and
cost center.
8. Close the screen.
Phyllis has the option to change the accounting rules to post the customer’s balance to one accounts receivable
ledger account, rather than being split across the financial dimension values.
9. Open General Ledger > Setup > General
ledger parameters.
10. Expand the Accounting rules FastTab.
The Values used for summary account is set to
Accounting distributions to use the financial
dimension values from the accounting
distributions for the offsetting subledger journal
accounts.
11. Change the Values field used for the summary
account to Source document to use the
financial dimensions from the source
document header.
12. Click Close.
13 AX2012R2-DS003 Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2 Sub Ledger Integration Demo Script
13. Go back to the free text invoice record
previously created.
14. Click Subledger journal on the Action Pane.
Only one customer balance transaction is
displayed using the financial dimension
information from the free text invoice header.
15. Click Close.
The customer balance subledger entries have now been summarized into one entry. Based on the level of detail
that is required on balance sheet accounts, the parameter can be set to either summarize the transaction or post
the financial dimension details. Phyllis decides that she needs to post the free text invoice using the details option.
16. Open the General ledger parameters form
again as you did in step 9.
17. Change the Values used for summary
account back to Accounting distributions.
18. Click Close
19. Navigate back to the free text invoice.
20. Click Post on the Action Pane.
21. Then click OK to post the free text invoice.
14 AX2012R2-DS003 Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2 Sub Ledger Integration Demo Script
22. Close the Infolog form, which confirms the
posting of the invoice.
The free text invoice is not yet posted to the general ledger because the GL parameters are set to use a scheduled
batch for free text invoices. Phyllis can view the transactions that are not yet transferred to the general leger.
23. Open General ledger > Inquiries >
Subledger journal entries not yet
transferred.
24. Click Subledger journal on the Action Pane.
Phyllis can preview the accounting entries of
the free text invoice before it is journalized.
25. Click Close.
15 AX2012R2-DS003 Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2 Sub Ledger Integration Demo Script
26. Click Batch transfer on the Action Pane.
27. Select ALL as the Source document type.
28. Click OK.
This will generate GL entries for all transaction types irrespective of year or period. In this scenario, there was only
one transaction that needed to be transferred. Now Phyllis can review the transactions in the General Ledger.
29. Open General ledger > Common > Main
accounts.
30. Type 401200 in the quick filter field.
31. Select account 401200 Service Revenues.
32. Click Posted on the Action Pane to view the
posted transactions.
33. Press Ctrl G and add todays date to filter on the
date column.
The journalized transactions are displayed showing
the distribution of the free text invoice amounts
across multiple cost accounts based on the
template.
Phyllis can drill down into the details by using the Action Pane across the Account number form.
16 AX2012R2-DS003 Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2 Sub Ledger Integration Demo Script
34. Click Subledger Journal on the Action Pane to
see the subledger journal entries for the posted
invoice.
35. Click Close.
Phyllis now has full traceability and can view the subledger journal details of the GL entry and the original
document originating the transaction, all of the elements she needs in order to be able to justify the GL entry.
End of Demo Script 2
DEMO 3: PROCURE TO PAY
Scenario and background
In Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2, the accounting and source document framework helps simplify the procure-to-
pay process by separating the accounting and operations processes. This release also allows users to make
corrections to the accounting entries for purchase orders after the document is confirmed without having to send a
new purchase order to the vendor.
In this scenario, Michael (the sales and marketing account manager) creates a purchase requisition for training that
he plans to attend. Alicia (purchasing agent) will then review the purchase requisition and add a new item to the
requisition for a projector needed from the same vendor. After reviewing the requisition, Alicia will convert the
purchase requisition to a purchase order and submit it to the vendor. Sammy (receiving agent) will then process the
receipt of the projector by creating a product receipt in the system. Following the receipt, Phyllis (accounting
manager) will proceed to review the accounting entries created by the product receipt and make any changes
before they are posted to the general ledger. Finally April (accounts payable clerk) will post the invoice received
from the vendor and create a payment.
17 AX2012R2-DS003 Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2 Sub Ledger Integration Demo Script
1. Log on to Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2 as
Michael (shift + right-click on the Microsoft
Dynamics AX icon on the desktop, select Run
as different user, and then log on as Michael).
2. Open Procurement and sourcing > Common
> Purchase requisitions > All purchase
requisitions.
Michael is planning to attend a sales training that is offered by Fabrikam Supplier (Account US-104). The training is
scheduled for three days at cost of 1,500 USD per day. Because Michael is buying services instead of actual inventory
items, he uses the procurement category for Workplace Services to create the purchase requisition.
3. On the Action Pane, click Purchase requisition
to create a new requisition.
4. Enter Training in the Name field.
5. Click OK.
6. Click Add line to create a new purchase
requisition line.
7. Select Procurement category: Procurement
hierarchy > Workplace services > Training.
8. Enter Sales Training in the Product name field.
9. Enter 3.00 in the quantity field.
10. Select day in the unit field.
11. Enter 1500 in the unit price field.
12. Enter US-104 in the vendor account field.
Michael can also access the accounting distributions, which allow him to determine how the cost should be
distributed. If Michael is unaware of how this should be done, he can leave the distribution as is and let either
Alicia, April, or Phyllis define the distribution once the purchase order is created or the invoice is received. The
distribution information can be defined as early as in the purchase requisition, or later in the process when
posting the invoice. In this scenario, Michael will define the distributions.
18 AX2012R2-DS003 Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2 Sub Ledger Integration Demo Script
13. On the Action Pane, click Financials, and then
click Distribute amounts.
Michael knows that training needs to be tracked
on a dedicated expense account. He also agreed
with the Operations department that they will
take over 10% of the expense.
14. Select the Extended price for Line 1: Training.
15. In the Ledger account field, enter main account
602200, and then in the Percent field enter 90.
16. Click Split. The system automatically creates a
second line applying the remaining amount.
17. Change Department to 023 Operations.
18. Click Close.
19.
By distributing ninety percent to Sales & Marketing and ten percent to Operations, Michael’s training expense will
be charged to both departments based on the percent of the original 4,500 USD.
20. On the Action Pane, click Details.
21. Expand the General FastTab.
22. Enter a business justification in the Reason field
on the purchase requisition header.
23. Select Specific Request and enter some details.
24. Click Submit to submit the purchase requisition.
25. You can enter additional comments, and then
click Submit again.
Note: In order to approve this Purchase requisition, you need to:
a. Open AOT with CTRL+D.
b. Look up the Tutorial_WorkflowProcessor form, right-click, select Open, and click Start.
19 AX2012R2-DS003 Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2 Sub Ledger Integration Demo Script
c. Start a new Microsoft Dynamics AX client as user Inga who has one notification. Click the notifications icon,
select the 1 line, and click Go to origin, which will open the Purchase requisition. Click the Actions button,
and select Approve.
d. Close Inga’s session.
e. Return to Michael's session.
26. Notice the purchase requisition has been
approved and the status changed to Closed
because a purchase order has been created
automatically.
27. Close Michael's session.
20 AX2012R2-DS003 Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2 Sub Ledger Integration Demo Script
Once the purchase requisition has been submitted, Alicia (purchasing agent) will continue to work on the purchase
order. Alicia will add another purchase order line for a projector she needs from the same vendor. This saves her
time and the need for another purchase order. Alicia will also define the distribution for the new line item and verify
that the distribution Michael set up is correct. Alicia will then confirm the purchase order and send it to the vendor.
28. Log on as Alicia (purchasing agent).
29. Open Procurement and Sourcing > Common
> Purchase orders > All purchase orders.
30. Select the last purchase order in the list.
31. On the Action Pane, click Edit.
32. On the Action Pane on the purchase order lines,
select Financials, and then click Distribute
amounts.
Notice the distributions Michael made are shown
here. Alicia can also choose to make changes to the
current distribution if needed.
33. Click Close.
Alicia needs to order a projector from the same vendor, and she adds the purchase order line to the existing
purchase order.
34. On the Action Pane, click Add line.
35. Enter T0002 in the Item number field.
36. Enter 1 in the Quantity field.
21 AX2012R2-DS003 Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2 Sub Ledger Integration Demo Script
37. Expand the Line details FastTab, and open the
Setup tab.
38. Review the Invoice matching policy, which
needs to be set to Two-way matching. (Note:
This will simplify the further processing of the
receipt and the invoice).
Close the Line details FastTab.
Select Financials, and then click Distribute
amounts.
Notice all the menu items controls have been
disabled.
39. Click Close.
The menu items are disabled because the inventory posting process does not use the new posting framework, and
therefore the distribution is based on the financial dimensions on the purchase order line.
40. Expand the Line details FastTab.
41. Click the Financial dimensions tab.
42. Enter 023 in the Department field.
43. On the Action Pane, select Financials, and then
click Distribute Amounts.
Notice the distribution now reflects the
dimension change Alicia made on the purchase
order line.
44. Click Close.
Alica completed the purchase order and is now ready to send it to Alpine Electronics.
45. On the Action Pane, click Purchase.
46. Click Confirm to confirm the purchase order.
The purchase order has now been sent to the
vendor.
Just after she sent the purchase order to Alpine Electronics, Alicia realizes that the accounting distributions for the
purchase order are incorrect, and that she needs to make changes to the distributions.
22 AX2012R2-DS003 Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2 Sub Ledger Integration Demo Script
47. Select purchase order line 1.
48. On the Action Pane, select Financials, and then
click Distribute amounts.
49. On the Action Pane, click Correct.
When Alicia selects to correct the distribution, the system will automatically keep the original transaction and
generate a pair of transactions to equalize the original distribution. The system will also generate a new set of
transactions, which are identical to the original entries, but allow Alicia to edit them.
Notice the entries that were created.
50. Change the department information in line 6
from 022 Sales & Marketing to 024 Finance.
51. Click Close.
52. On the Action Pane, click Purchase.
53. Click Confirm to confirm the purchase order.
Because Alicia only made changes to the accounting distribution and not the purchase order, there is no need to
send a new purchase order to the vendor.
Optional step: Product Receipt
Upon receipt of the goods, Sammy, the receiving agent, creates a product receipt. In this scenario, this is an
optional step, because the matching policy on the purchase order line is set up to two-way matching. If you change
the matching policy on the purchase order line for the web cams to three-way match, then the product receipt
would be required.
23 AX2012R2-DS003 Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2 Sub Ledger Integration Demo Script
54. Log on as Sammy (receiving agent).
55. Open Procurement and sourcing > Periodic >
Purchase orders > Product receipt.
56. Click Select.
57. Select purchase order vendor account US-104 in
the Criteria column.
58. Click OK.
59. Select all Purchase orders except for the last one,
and remove them by clicking Delete.
60. In the Product receipt field, enter the
identification of the product receipt, for example
PR1.
61. Select the Lines tab.
62. Select line number 1, and click delete because
no product receipt is required for the training.
63. Click OK to register the product receipt of the
ordered quantity of web cams.
Optional: After Sammy receives the products, Phyllis (accounting manager) can validate the information on the
actual journal that is created for the receipt.
24 AX2012R2-DS003 Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2 Sub Ledger Integration Demo Script
64. Log on as Phyllis (accounting manager).
65. Open Procurement and Sourcing > Inquiries >
Journals > Product receipt.
66. Select the purchase order previously created.
67. Click Subledger journal entries.
68. Phyllis can review the subledger journal entries.
As you can see, the receipt of the projector was
posted to a purchase accrual account.
69. Click Close.
70. Click View distributions.
Phyllis could also view the distributed amounts for
the receipt.
71. Click Close.
Phyllis can see in the distribution that the purchase order was posted to an accrual liability account for items
received. Once the invoice is received from the vendor and entered, the system will reverse out this entry and post
to the appropriate expense account.
End of optional scenario
Upon receipt of the vendor invoice, April (accounts payable clerk) will enter the invoice into the system and make
any adjustments needed based on the vendor invoice. In this case, the cost per training day is only 1,400 USD, and
April makes that adjustment.
25 AX2012R2-DS003 Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2 Sub Ledger Integration Demo Script
72. Log on as April (accounts payable clerk).
73. In the left navigation bar select Procurement
and Sourcing > Common > Purchase Orders >
All purchase orders.
74. Select the purchase order previously created.
75. On the Action Pane, click the Invoice tab.
76. On the Action pane, click Invoice.
77. Change the default quantity for the lines to the
ordered quantity.
78. Enter INV1 in the Number field.
79. Set the unit price to 1,400 USD for the training.
80. Select Financials, and then click Distribute
amounts.
Notice that there is an additional distribution line for
the price variance. The original distribution has not
changed.
81. Click Close.
82. On the Action Pane, click Post.
83. Click Post.
26 AX2012R2-DS003 Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2 Sub Ledger Integration Demo Script
Now let’s take a look at the ledger transations.
84. On the Action Pane, click the Invoice tab.
85. Click Invoice Journals.
86. Click Voucher.
The first two transactions are the reversing journal
entries of the product receipt.
Then the expense transactions are listed per
financial dimension. The accounts payable
transactions are also posted per financial dimension.
