Organization dimension: BPDORGANIZATION
The BPDORGANIZATION dimension is used to hold organizational structures such as departments or cost centers. Configuration sets can be configured with or without organizational detail.
There is no separate staging table for the Organization dimension and there is no validation of data. Instead, you load source system data directly into the Elements and Parents dimension tables that Designer can import.
The DIM_BPDORGANIZATION_ELEMENTS table provides basic information, including translated names for each organization. It does not contain parent-child information.
The bds_integration_bp_import_dimensions
stored procedure populates the DIM_BPDORGANIZATION_ELEMENTS table.
