I am trying to delete a custom dimension in a "gold, pristine" environment. This environment has no transactions, no Main Accounts, no GL Account Structures and no Financial Dimension sets. The custom dimension has no Dimension values.
When I try to delete, I get the error in the subject line: "The dimension exists as a default dimension. You cannot delete dimension ..."
Release 8, July 2017 update has a new feature to "Delete a main account and dimension value". It is great to see this new functionality.
What might I try to clear the error that "Dimension exists as a default dimension"? Thanks.
Delete a main account and dimension value
As companies go live they often have main accounts or dimension values that they have determined they no longer need. This feature lets you remove the main account and dimension values if there are no posted transaction, keeping the pristine golden template intact.
