Set up Local Dimensions

Local dimensions are different from global dimensions in that instead of dimension values you can create dimension lists, each of which contains a number of dimension values.

Each dimension list can be attached to one or multiple companies. Only those dimension values that are part of the dimension list attached to a company are available to the particular company. You can create a structure list for each dimension list.

There are three local dimensions that can be assigned to a particular company within the larger organization.

Dimension Description
Local Specification 1: 10 Use this window to create other values you want to refer to when the Spec. 1 (or 2, 3, etc.) dimension is used in Maconomy’s other windows.

For example, your company may have a common / consolidated Chart of Accounts which uses global dimensions, and also local Chart of Accounts that uses this entry.
