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.

Short Description

The abbreviated description of the dimension type.

LN displays this description when there is insufficient space for complete description.

Segment

If this check box is selected, the dimension-type description is used for segment reporting.

Note
  • You can only select a segment for which, in the Chart of Accounts (tfgld0508m000) session, the dimension option is Mandatory. To set the dimension option to Mandatory for a range of accounts, run the Update Dimension Options (tfgld0208m000) session.
  • You can select a maximum of two dimension types for segment reporting.
