[Solved]Error while importing/Exporting opening balances DIXF (No active format for data entities has been set up)

Hi Folks, 

We were trying to import some opening balances and encountered some issues which say error as below,  

Error 1:

Results. The account type Ledger is not valid

Results. Validations failed

Error 2:

Results. No active format for data entities has been set up.

Set up an active format for each dimension format type.

Results. Error found when validating record.

Data written to target 'General journal' ('0' records created, '0' records updated)

Solution:

To fix this issue, Navigate to the below form

"General ledger > Chart of accounts > Dimensions > Financial dimension configuration for integrating applications"

Now here you need to set up two records as below, please make a note of the 'Dimension format type' and select the required dimension from available dimension types. 

Save your changes and retry to import/export your file, it should work this time. 

If you want to learn more about this specific form, I would recommend reading below Microsoft document.
