在AX 系统中，用户可以自己添加财务维度(Finance Dimension）来满足财务核算和财务分析的要求。财务维度的设计在AX 2012 与AX 2009 及以前版本中的改动较大，相应的步骤和设置完全不同，用户需要执行哪些以下操作在AX2012系统中添加维度以保证其可以正确设置和使用：
a. General ledger > Setup > Chart of account > Configure account structures > select one that is being used in your company by some of your MainAccounts i. If you are unsure which are being used, you can find it out by going to ii. General ledger > Setup > Ledger > Chart of accounts = Corporate Main account (Shared). Now you know the name of the Chart of accounts in this company. iii. Right-click the field to select ‘View details’ iv. Here you can see the Account structures being used on your chart of account=‘Corporate Main account (Shared) v. Select one of the Account structures and click on button ‘Configure account structure’ b. Edit button c. Add segment (to the right) > select your new dimension. d. Activate button
在以上步骤后，就可以在所有的journal，PO， SO 等所有finance dimension的界面中看到新增的财务维度。
