Dimension Derivation Process

After you set up the derivation for each dimension needed, Maconomy follows a process to derive the dimensions.

As a general process, Maconomy retrieves the values to be derived from a given account, location, entity, project, purpose, spec. 1-3 value, local spec. 1-3 value, job, or employee from the Derived Dimensions island in the tab of the specified location, job, employee, and so on. However, the dimension derivation process varies according to these situations:

• When a new entry is added
• When an existing entry is updated
• When journal entries posts

  These three processes are described below.
