You can select a dimension type to which you want to link a dimension.
Dimensions (tfgld0510m000)Use this session to list the dimensions of a dimension type. For each dimension type, you can define dimensions and link them to parent dimensions and child dimensions. For every dimension type, you can define one dimension with an empty dimension code. If the dimension type is Optional for a ledger account, LN posts transactions for which no dimension is specified to this dimension. In this way, differences between the ledger history and the dimension history can be avoided. You must define a structure for dimensions. The dimension structure works with sublevels and parent-child relationships similar to the chart of accounts structure. From the appropriate menu, you can select View Tree to display a graphical view of the dimension structure. If you select a dimension, LN displays the structure of the dimension. Else, LN displays all dimensions. To support dimension mapping in the integration mapping scheme, you can import the codes of various entities and properties defined in the Tables module of Common to create the dimensions. For example, for the Total Items dimension type, you can import the item groups, which results in the addition of as many dimensions as item groups, and with the item group codes. If you import departments, enterprise units, or warehouses, LN only imports the departments, enterprise units, or warehouses that are linked to the financial company in which you are working. To import the dimensions from the Tables module:
To remove ranges of the generated dimensions, from the Edit menu, select Delete a range of records. Next, select the first and the last record of the range. LN asks you to confirm that you want to delete the range of records. Dimensions that are already in use cannot be deleted.
Dimension Type You can select a dimension type to which you want to link a dimension. Dimension Description The dimension type's description. Dimension The dimension Enter the code of the dimension for which you want to define the data. Description The description of the dimension. Search Key A search key allows you to rapidly search for the element in LN. Text If this check box is selected, a text is present. Dimension Sublevel The sublevel of a ledger account. Allowed values
Parent Dimension The parent-dimension codes can define a dimension structure so that data from the underlying dimension codes can be aggregated and broken down, if required. Allowed values You can only select dimensions with a sublevel that is higher than zero. Remember that no looping takes place by linking a parent dimension to a child dimension in the same hierarchy. A maximum of nine levels of child dimensions can be defined for the highest dimension. Parent Dimension The description of the dimension. Dimension Type The account type determines whether the dimension is used:
Person Responsible The employee code of the person responsible for the results in the dimension. You can sort the printed report on the basis of the employee. Name The name of the employee. Print Sequence Define the sequence in which the dimensions must be printed in the dimension statements. If you do not enter a value in this field, LN includes the dimensions in alphabetical code sequence, sorting first by figures and then by letters. Example The following ledger accounts have been defined:
This will be printed as follows on the trial balance:
Status The blocking status specifies if the dimension code is blocked against the entry of transactions manually, automatically, or both. Set the blocking period in the following fields:
Note You can only block dimensions with sublevel zero. Blocking Effective From The start date of the blocking status. Blocking Effective To The end date of the blocking status. Display Unit 1 If this check box is selected, quantities of the related unit entered in the ledger account also apply to the dimension. Display Unit 2 If this check box is selected, quantities of the related unit entered in the ledger account will also apply to the dimension.
