Assign dimensions

You can assign dimensions to lines that have a Draft or Error status.

1. Select the More actions icon from the line, then select Dimensions.
2. You can select a dimension for each dimension type.

Manage dimensions

Stock adjustment lines can inherit dimensions and attributes from the site, item, or both. For this, dimensions and attributes need to be set on the site record or item record, and default dimension rules need to be set on the company record, on the Dimensions tab. When you create a stock adjustment, the dimensions default on the lines from those defined for the site, item, or both.

If default dimension rules are not set for the company, you can add dimensions directly on the stock adjustment lines. You can add and change dimensions on each line individually. Or, when you create the stock adjustment you can add the dimensions for all lines and then change them individually later if required.

To manage dimensions for individual lines:

1. From the More actions icon on the line, select Dimensions.
2. Select the dimensions you want for the line.
3. Save.

To manage dimensions for all lines:

1. Select Set default dimensions on the Document lines grid.
2. Select the necessary dimensions.
3. Select Apply to all lines to apply the dimensions to all the existing and future lines or Apply to new lines only to apply the dimensions to future lines only.

The Stock status changes automatically from Draft to In progress, then to Completed.
