Creating a dimension hierarchy

For each of the user dimensions and dimension structures that are defined for a finance enterprise group, you must define a hierarchy of dimension values. A dimension structure hierarchy can contain an unlimited number of levels.

All dimension names are user-defined. All dimensions hierarchies are built the same, with additional tasks for the first dimension, if zone balancing is used.

Finance Dimension 10 is the name that is defined for finance dimension 10.

Open the finance enterprise group and select the Finance Dimension 10 tab.
Open the structure for which to create a hierarchy.
On the Hierarchy tab, click Create.
