Dimensions

As in most accounting packages, in Twinfield you register financial transactions on general ledger accounts and analyse them further, for example on accounts receivable (customers), accounts payable (suppliers), cost centers, projects or assets. Twinfield calls these dimensions. The level of a dimension determines what you can register:

• Level 1: the balance sheet and profit and loss accounts.
• Level 2: relations (customers and suppliers) and cost centers.
• Level 3: projects and assets.

With this SDK

Each group in the diagram is a dimension type. The SDK has a resource for each of them, see Master data (dimensions):

Level	Dimension type	Resource
1	Balance sheet (BAS)	$twinfield->balanceSheetAccounts()
1	Profit and loss (PNL)	$twinfield->profitAndLossAccounts()
2	Customers (DEB)	$twinfield->customers()
2	Suppliers (CRD)	$twinfield->suppliers()
2	Cost centers (KPL)	$twinfield->costCenters()
3	Projects (PRJ)	$twinfield->projects()
3	Fixed assets (AST)	$twinfield->classicFixedAssets()

Use dimension types to read the settings of a dimension type, such as its name and code mask, and dimension groups for named sets of dimensions, e.g. your key account customers.
