          Create Ledger Dimension through Code (x++)

Microsoft has provided a service class which has a method provided  internally that merges the default dimension and the ledger account that you require.
This works only when you have default dimension & ledgerAccount that you want to merge .

LedgerDimension = DimensionDerivationDistributionRule::buildLedgerDimension(ledgerDimension,DefaultDimension);

Here the parameter Default dimension is the recid contains combination of your dimension values.
LedgerDimension is the LedgerMainAccount that is defaulted when you creating journals.

P.S : Default dimension creation code is provided in my another blog which return the RecId needed as aa parameter 'DefaultDimension' for the method buildLedgerDimension() in the above one liner code.
