The requirement is: “You need to configure retail store customer cards to track revenue by market.”
In Business Central, to track revenue by customer market (Retail, Veterinarian, Breeder), you configure default dimensions on the Customer Card.
Assign the dimension code → Market
The business wants to analyze revenue by Market (Retail, Veterinarian, Breeder).
Therefore, the dimension code must be Market.
Assign the dimension value code → Retail
For this specific setup, the customer is a retail store, so the dimension value must be Retail.
Select a value posting → Same code
To ensure that every posting for this customer always carries the same dimension value, use Same Code.
Other options:
Blank = no default dimension.
No code = optional dimension.
Code mandatory = requires entry but allows flexibility in values.
Since we want strict tracking by a fixed market (Retail), Same code is correct.
This ensures that every transaction posted for the customer will always have Market = Retail, enabling accurate revenue tracking.
