I have summarized the system behavior for "Accounting distributions" and "Source document" parameter setting in General Ledger module in the form of an excel table, for easy understanding and future reference. The example below is to explain the dimension initialization on the vendor invoice, with respect to the setting and its impact on the postings done to the general ledger.
Account distributions - The posting to the summary (Accounts Payable aka AP in this case) will always take the dimension from the Purchase order lines.
Source document - The posting to the summary (Accounts Payable aka AP in this case) will always take the dimension from the Purchase order header, which is initialized on the Purchase order, from the Vendor master (hence the parameter name is called 'Source document') and which can be changed on the Purchase order header .
Account distributions - The posting to the summary (Accounts Payable aka AP in this case) will always take the dimension from the Purchase order lines.
