Enable/Disable a Financial dimension segment on AX Form:

Consider a scenario, where we need to allow only those financial dimension segments to be edited on the forms which are empty. Suppose, we are defaulting the Financial dimension for Customer from Project record and we have a scenario to only allow those segments to be edited which are not defaulted from Project and are empty. In standard AX, we have the same scenario for Advanced Ledger Entry source document. Here, I am going to explain that how we can achieve the similar functionality for Customer master record in AX. Below are the detailed steps:

Step 1: Create a new class extends from DimensionLinkProvider class

Following are the details of the methods, you need to add:

In classDeclaration, add the variables as shown below:

Override subscribed method and return isSubscribed variable as shown below:

Override new method and add the code shown below:

As you can see in the above code, we need to check for CustTable record and call our local method to add the logic for enable/disable individual dimension segment on the form. Now we need to create a new method in order to be called from the new method shown above. The new method will be used to call the delegate DimensionLinkAllowFieldEdit . Code is shown below:

Now, override the allowFieldEdit method. This method responds to a Dimension controller object whenever a field is made editable for specific dimension attribute. Below is the definition for the method:

Step 2: Add a reference for CustTableDimensionLinkProvider class in DimensionLinkProviders class

Open the new method of DimensionLinkProviders class and add the code as shown below. Note the letter ‘s’ in class name, this is different from the class from which we extend our new link provider class.
