UpdateDepartmentDimensionSetup

The UpdateDepartmentDimensionSetup modifies the analysis setup of the BI Code/Department. This set of codes is used to perform reporting by analysis groups and links transaction values to multiple lines of reporting. There can be up to 6 analysis groups setup in the system and each group can have many elements under it. This method changes which elements are assigned to the transactions values linked to this BI Code / Department.

WARNING: this method updates all history and previous years reporting groups will be modified. Do not use this without having a full understanding of this and make sure that your client is aware and understands the implications.

Example

The following example considers an existing BI Code / Department called SALES-SOUTH. There are 3 analysis groups set up in this company, each with elements:

Director	Region	Product Line
Kern	South	After Sales Services
O'Connor	North	Fault Analysis
Mart	West	Sales
	East	Design
	Central

SALES-SOUTH is currently linked to the director Kern, the region South and the product line After Sales Services. The director Kern is leaving and this now coming to be assigned to O'Connor. The following example realises the move:

C#

Integration ws = new Integration();

String auth = ws.Login(entityID, partnerKey, userKey);
if( auth != null )
{
	var result = ws.UpdateDepartmentDimensionSetup(auth, "SALES-SOUTH", "O'Connor", "South", "After Sales Services", null, null, null);
        if(!result.Result) throw new Exception("Could not update the department");
}
