Reconciling against the vendor’s own dashboard

Where to look in Business Central:
Reports > Finance > Trial Balance by Dimension Account Schedules with Dimension Sets Power BI > Finance Performance with Dimension slicer
BC’s Dimension feature is powerful but requires saved Account Schedules to surface as KPIs. Card automates. Why may differ: Cross-connector reconciliation: If your Channel Dimension matches commerce platform names, pair with shopify.total_revenue for direct DTC reconciliation.

Known limitations / merchant FAQs

Which Dimension does the card use? Dimension 1 by default, or workspace-configured. Most BC tenants use Dim 1 for primary slice (Department, Brand, Channel). Multiple Dimensions: can I see crossing? Card defaults to single Dimension. Cross-Dimension (e.g. Channel × Brand) is on the roadmap. Postings without Dimension Value? Counted under “(unassigned)”. A high unassigned bucket suggests a Dimension Posting Setup gap; see field map for filtering. AL Extension custom Dimensions? Yes if registered in Dimension Setup. The card uses BC standard Dimension table, AL Extensions extend without modification. Power BI parity? Power BI’s Finance Performance pack with a Dimension slicer matches per Company.
