Mapping of dimensions and dimension values

If there are differences or gaps in dimensions between Business Central and Visma Payroll, this can be mapped in a separate setup.

When do you need dimension mapping?​

Dimension mapping is necessary when:

  • Dimension codes are different between the systems
  • Want to override automatic mapping

Open dimension mapping​

Via the setup​

  1. Search for and open "Setup for Visma Payroll import"
  2. Click on "Dimension mapping" to open the screen for dimension mappings
  3. Enter mappings you want between Business Central and Visma Payroll.

Indication of missing mappings​

In the payroll transaction list​

If a dimension from Visma is not mapped, this will be indicated in the list of payroll transactions by showing [Missing] over the dimension values in the list. Based on what you have specified in Handling when dimension missing in the setup, this will give an error message or be ignored when importing to general journal.

Handling of dimension values​

Interactive editing​

You can always click on a dimension value to create or change a value directly from the payroll transaction list.
