BPM Reporting

A dimension field can be completed with a default value, a manually entered value, or with a “derived value.”

Dimension values not entered manually, through derivation, or through a registration code, are filled in with standard dimension values from the System Parameters window.

Note: See the Derivation section for more details on that topic.

Dimensions and derivations are intended for BPM Reporting. For core Maconomy reporting functionality, see Maconomy Reporting.

There are several tasks to accomplish to set up dimensions for your company.

• Review available dimensions and determine your company’s needs.
• Set up common (global) dimensions via the dimensions-related workspaces (such as Location, Entity, and so on).
• Set up company-specific (local) dimensions via the Local Specification 1 through Local Specification 10 workspaces.
• Create default values in the System Parameters workspace and ensure that all dimensions fields have values for all dimensions in use.
• Set up dimension “short-cuts” such as dimension combinations and registration codes.

Note:

• If a dimension is required, the dimension must either be entered manually or derived. A required dimension will not be filled in automatically with the value of the standard dimension. You may, however, enter the standard value manually.
• You must enter values for all dimensions before posting a G/L entry.
