Dimension-Type Descriptions (tfgld0102m000)

	Dimension-Type Descriptions (tfgld0102m000) Use this session to define the descriptions and linked objects of the dimension types. The descriptions appear as field names for any dimension fields in LN sessions in which you can select a dimension. Dimension Type The dimension type number. Linked Object The object to which the dimension type is linked. Each object can only be linked once. The linked object, which is defined for a specific dimension type, will be used when the user imports dimensions. Example If dimension type 2 has Project defined as linked object, and the user imports dimensions for dimension type 2, existing project codes will be imported and added as dimension codes. As a result, dimension codes and project codes will match. Related topics Ledger account and dimension structure Using dimensions Description Description of the dimension type.
