Adding rows from dimensions does not show account descriptions RRS feed

  • Question

  • When I add rows from dimensions, the account descriptions don't populate.  The link to the GL looks right - what am I doing wrong?

  • Hi Wipfli,

    This is a bug that has been written up and is being addressed by the development team.  Essentially, the data provider is pulling its descriptions from the GL40200 instead of the GL00100 which is the primary table for Account descriptions.  We do have a work-around for this but I suggest that you only run this on your test server as we have not confirmed if/how this will affect GP. 

    This script simply takes the descriptions from the GL00100 and places them into the GL40200. 

    update GL40200

    set gl40200.dscriptn = Substring(GL00100.actdescr,1,31)

    from GL40200

        Inner Join gl00100

    ON (gl40200.sgmntid = gl00100.actnumbr_2)

  • Thanks for the response.  Is there a list of bugs available for us to see so that we know when we're running into one?

  • There is not a list at the moment but we will discuss this and see if we can start posting them out to this forum.

  • Thanks for pointing that out.  I didn't see this issue in particular in that document but it is still helpful to know.
