Now you have three prompts that you need to click yes on to delete the company. I'm sure Microsoft had many requests on how to restore an accidently deleted company which prompted for this change. If you do by chance delete a company on accident then Microsoft can restore using a point in time restore. So typically you find out when the company was deleted and they can restore up to 5 minutes before it was deleted, for example.

Same process would apply if you needed to change a posted dimension as well. Within the General Ledger Entries page, select the line for the entry that needs to be corrected, then click on Entry > Correct Dimensions. Within the Draft Dimension Correction window go ahead and update the description if needed and mark Update Analyses Views if you're using those. Next section Dimension Correction Changes go ahead and add the updates. In my case my entry is missing two dimensions so I'm going to add each of those in there. Since my dimensions were missing the Dimension Value Code field is blank,
I had a client ask me if the Aged Accounts Receivable report could be modified a bit since he was having to modify it manually and it was taking him around 6 minutes each time. As I started discovery on what he wanted I asked him what his requirements were. Aged by = Document Date Length of Aging Periods = 45D Print Detail = Yes Print to Excel = Yes Include a Pivot Table with the following information: Customer name Total balance due Total over 45D due Top 3 customers Percentage of 45D due vs total balance due To get started I asked him to send me a screen shot of the Aged Accounts Receivable options window to verify how he is running the report.
