Today we will be exploring the new changes  related  to Financial dimensions in AX 2012.

Ø   Technically these dimensions were controlled by Enum SysDimension and an array EDT Dimension. Ø   So If we have 3 enum elements in SysDimension, then its corresponding array elements are stored in    dimension EDT and can be referred as Dimension[0], Dimension[1].....
