Description

Configuration of analytic categories, known as dimensions and tags in the API context, and displayed as Categories and Tags in the product interface.
The Dimensions resource allows you to retrieve all available dimensions and their associated tags.

Warning: Analytic tag settings are currently read-only.
At this stage, creating or modifying these settings is not supported via the API and must be done directly from the Settings interface in Sage Active.

An analytic dimension represents a customizable axis used to categorize accounting entry lines for analytical purposes.

Typical examples include dimensions such as Warehouse, Department, or Project.
Each dimension is configured with a list of tags, which define the allowed values for that dimension.
For example, the Warehouse dimension may include tags such as Lyon, Toulouse, and Rouen, each representing a specific location used in allocation.
When creating accounting entries, you can allocate each line across one or more analytic dimensions by assigning a specific tag from the list defined for each dimension.
See API resources overview / Accounting Entries
You can also configure accounts in the chart of accounts to assign default dimension tags, which will be automatically applied to entry lines using those accounts. See API resources overview / Accounting Accounts

dimensions/dimensionTags or directly from dimensionTags

This section describes the analytic tags associated with a dimension.

Tags define the actual values that can be used for allocation on that analytic axis.
You can also query dimensionTag directly.
In this case, the dimensionId allows you to retrieve the details of the related dimension.

Warning: Dataloaders are not currently available for dimensions.
This means that if you need to retrieve additional details (e.g., dimension name for a given dimensionId), you must manually correlate the values using the identifiers (id fields) returned by the API.
