There is a feature in the Norway localization that we need in our Canadian localization. Please apply this feature to all localizations.
That is the Norway Dimension Control function for the payment proposal:
We need to inherit dimensions booked to the vendor when booking the invoice in the invoice journal to the payment journal.
Comments
Financial dimensions from origin invoice should transfer to the payment also in the centralized payment case.

I give this a vote up because some customers do not really like the cross dimensions settlement transactions that can occur during open transaction settlement because of dimension differences between the payment and the invoice... It can also make creating cash flow statements by using the "direct method" easier (assign a dimension to invoices with the cash flow purpose - investments, inventory...) as the bank transaction can inherit the dimension and there is no need to chase the purpose down the chain (bank transaction - payment vendor transaction - settlement - invoice vendor transaction).
One thing to investigate/enhance: with the new source document framework, you can have the invoice vendor transaction posted on several dimension combinations. There should be some sane handling of this situation, but I am not currently sure whether that is to have one payment with multiple dimension values (not possible in a payment journal) or multiple payments (should be possible now I believe - it was not possible in the past to have multiple payments settle the same invoice).

Thank you for your feedback. Currently this is not in our roadmap; however, we are tracking it and if we get more feedback and votes, we may consider it in the future.
