A retail company uses a Cost Center dimension and a Store dimension. The finance team wants that when a user enters a cost center value of 100 (Sales), the Store dimension is automatically set to the store associated with that cost center. The store value should still be editable if needed. What should you configure?

Configure a balance control account that triggers the Store dimension assignment.

Create a financial dimension default template that assigns the Store dimension when Cost Center 100 is used.

Add a validation rule in the account structure that requires the Store dimension when Cost Center 100 is used.

Set up a derived dimension rule that maps Cost Center 100 to the corresponding Store value.

A retail company uses Dynamics 365 Finance. The accounts payable clerks frequently enter the main account for 'Office Supplies' (account 601500) with the Cost Center dimension 'ADMIN'. To speed up entry, they want to type a short code like 'OFFSUP' that automatically populates the main account and the Cost Center dimension. What should you configure?

Create a financial dimension default template for 'OFFSUP' that sets the Cost Center.

Configure a derived dimension for 'OFFSUP' to populate the Cost Center.

Create a ledger account alias for 'OFFSUP' that maps to main account 601500 and includes the Cost Center dimension value.

Add 'OFFSUP' as an advanced rule in the account structure.
