Here you can set up all the accounting Dimensions (extensions) used in the ERP system/systems. For example if you                 have dimension 4 Counterparty and it is needed for all internal profit and loss accounts a dimension rule needs to be             set up for which account it should be applied to and also a translation of what the different Counterparties are called             in the accounting system. See example rule 4 below in this case the only used profit and loss accounts                                     StartsWith(Account,'8') and the tag selected is counterpart. If this only should be applied to internal deals it could be             added as a selection choose company type Internal. 

If the company is called something else in the ERP system a translation can be done in the table below. Click on the plus sign and choose what codes that should be translated. Add the translation in the Text field,  Subsidiary Finland = 1000, Subsidiary Norway = 2000 etc. Note if the counterparty have the same name in the ERP system as in Treasury systems select code "Same value" and leave text blank, the Subsidiary Finland = Subsidiary Finland in the accounting file. 

If an Expression is applied StartsWith('','') it defaults '' but if [Account] is choosen no '' should be applied before and after correct set up is show in print screen below.
