Hi Microsoft,

All customers using more than 2 dimensions (Global) are in need to use the shortcut dimensions 3-8. And they can easily use and book to the shortcut dimensions in their gl journals etc.

But when they want to work with these additional dimensions for financial reporting purposes, they are only able to see the 2 global dimensions in the booked gl entries and not the 3-8 additional dimensions they have created. Most people within finance needs to be able to export everything out to excel and create a pivottable or something similar.

So the idea/suggestion is to make shortcut dimensions show the same way as the global dimensions are showing in the booked gl entries with their own field/columns.

Many thanks in advance!
