# Add inventory dimension field

On several D365 F&SCM tables, inventory dimensions exist. Each inventory dimension is expressed in a RecId that refers to the Inventory dimensions (InventDim) table. So, it does not reflect the inventory dimension name and value.

To a data entry workflow template step, you can add the desired inventory dimension fields. So, on the resulting task dialog, these inventory dimensions can be set.

Before you can add an inventory dimension field to a data entry workflow template step, create the field in the related workflow document. You add an inventory dimension field as a **Virtual** field to the workflow document. For each desired inventory dimension, add a separate virtual field. For example, if you need five inventory dimensions, add five virtual fields to the applicable record in the workflow document.

You can only add an inventory dimension field to a workflow document record that has a relation to the **Inventory dimensions (InventDim)** table.

When you have added an inventory dimension field to the workflow document, you can add it to a data entry workflow template step. To do so, use the Add field from workflow document function.

### Steps

1. Go to **Data entry workflow** > **Design** > **Data entry** **workflow templates**.
2. In the list, find and select the desired data entry workflow template.
3. On the **Action Pane**, click **General**.
4. Click **Workflow document**.
5. In the **Record** section, in the list, find and select the desired record.

6. Click **Add** field.
7. In the **Field name** field, enter a value, for example, Site or Warehouse.
8. The default **Ax field name** is the name that you entered in the Field name field. If desired, you can change it.

In the **Ax field name** field, enter or select a value.
9. Make sure, the **Field** **type** is set to '**Virtual**'.
10. Click **Save**.
11. Click the **Virtual field tab**.
12. In the **Virtual field type** field, select '**Inventory dimension**'.
13. A table can have several inventory dimension fields. Define to which inventory dimension field of the record table the new virtual field is related.

In the **Target dimension field** field, enter or select a value.
14. In the **Inventory dimension** field, enter or select the desired inventory dimension.

15. Close the page.
