2.1 Filtering accounting dimensions in transactions

Based on the restrictions applied on the account, only allowed dimensions will be filtered and shown in the transactions.

In case any mandatory dimension is missing or a restricted dimension is tagged against any applicable account, the system won't allow submitting that transaction until the correct accounting dimension is selected.
