Overview
Velixo functions for retrieving account balances for Sage Intacct (such as SI.TURNOVER , SI.OPENINGBALANCE, SI.CLOSINGBALANCE, and SI.BDUGETTURNOVER) support showing only that part of the balance that corresponds to a particular analytical dimension value (for example, a certain department, vendor, or customer).
To filter by dimension, you need to use the Dimensions argument of the balance function.
For user-defined dimensions there is a separate argument: UserDefinedDimensions, which works in the same way.
Method #1 - two-column range
The value of the dimension argument can be a two-column Excel range, where the first column contains the name of the dimension, and the second column contains a list of semicolon-separated dimension values.
Example dimension filter:
Department | 150 |
Customer | 10003;10004 |
By specifying such an Excel range to the SI.TURNOVER function, you will be able to see only the turnover amounts:
where the company department associated with the transaction is "150",
and the customer record associated with the transaction is either 10003 or 10004
Note: Sage Intacct expects the ID of a record, not its Name, in the filter. For example, if there is a customer record with ID "10003" and the name "Uplift Services", you will need to specify "10003" in the dimension filter.
Method #2 - Excel array
The dimension argument can be a multi-column array where the first row (or column) of the array contains the name of a user-defined analytical dimension, and the remaining rows (or columns) contain the individual values for that dimension.
Example A - Vertical
Dimension name in first row
Example B - Horizontal
Dimension name in the first column
Special Cases
1 - Including Empty dimension values
To retrieve balances with any (including empty) dimension value (*)
The following function returns the account turnover for GL account #10010. In the function, the Dimensions argument (configured to {"customer";"*"}) means that transactions with any value of the Customer dimension will be included in the balance.
=SI.TURNOVER("sage",,"10010","2019-12-01","2019-12-31","100","Accrual",{"customer";"*"})
2 - Excluding Empty dimension values
To retrieve balances with non-empty dimension values only (*!)
The following function returns the account turnover for GL account #10010. In the function, the Dimensions argument (configured to {"customer";"*!"}) means that only transactions with non-empty values in the Customer dimension will be included in the balance.
=SI.TURNOVER("sage",,"10010","2019-12-01","2019-12-31","100","Accrual",{"customer";"*!"})
3 - Including ONLY Empty dimension values
To retrieve balances with empty dimension values only (null)
The following function returns the account turnover for GL account #10010. In the function, the Dimensions argument (configured {"customer";"null"}) means that only only those transactions with and empty value in the Customer dimension will be included in the balance.
=SI.TURNOVER("sage",,"10010","2019-12-01","2019-12-31","100","Accrual",{"customer";"null"})
⚠️Important Note:
The null syntax is not support with the following dimensions:
Customer Type
Vendor Type
Project Type
Cost Type
Employee type
Product Line
Supported Dimensions
The supported dimension names for the Dimensions argument are as follows. Each row in the below table corresponds to a dimension:
Department
Employee
Both employee IDs and employee group IDs are supported as values.
Employee type
⚠️ Do not use if Employee is set
Customer
Both customer IDs and customer group IDs are supported as values.
Customer type
⚠️ Do not use if Customer is set.
Vendor
Both vendor IDs and vendor group IDs are supported as values.
Vendor type
⚠️ Do not use if Vendor is set.
Warehouse
Both warehouse IDs and warehouse group IDs are supported as values.
Project
Both project IDs and project group IDs are supported as values.
Project type
⚠️ Do not use if Project is set.
Task
↖️ Only available if parent Project is set.
Cost type
↖️ Only available if parent Task is set.
Item
Both item IDs and item group IDs are supported as values.
Product line
⚠️ Do not use if Item is set.
Class
Both class IDs and class group IDs are supported as values.
Contract
Both contract IDs and contract group IDs are supported as values.
Note: For your convenience, the dimension names are not case-sensitive.
How to use User Defined Dimensions
When using a User Defined Dimension in your Velixo functions, it must be the Integration Name that is specified. Thus, given the following configuration within Sage Intacct:
We must use the Integration Name of test_dimension_2 in our Velixo functions.
e.g.,
such as is done here:
