Dimension Combinations

Use the Dimension Combination workspace to create dimension combinations.

In the tab, enter a name for the dimension combination. Then, for each dimension you can specify a dimension value to be applied when the dimension combination is used.

Use the sub-tab to set up information if you want the dimension combination to derive a different value, depending on which company makes the actual entry. On each line, enter a range of company numbers and a value for one or more dimensions. The values you enter are used instead of the values specified in the tab part when a company within the specified range enters information when the current dimension combination is used. In case the company which is making the entry is not included in the specified range of companies, the information in the tab is used.

When you are going to use dimension combinations as a Posting Reference, select the Overwrite field for all dimensions for which a value is specified. This ensures that the specified dimension values are always applied when using this posting reference.

To create multiple standard dimension groupings for a given type (such as account groupings for Balance Sheet, P&L, and Cash Flow), create an option list for account grouping and create options (for example, Balance Sheet, P&L, and so on) and then specify these on the dimension groupings of using the Account type.
