Dimensions mapping in a segment reporting environment

If the Segment Reporting check box is selected in the Group Company Parameters (tfgld0101s000) session, the Dimension 1 Element Group Code for the segment dimensions are mandatory. However, for some situations, LN determines the segment dimension and hence in those cases, the Dimension 1 Element Group Code is not disabled.

For example, the segment dimensions for postings on the Interim Revenues set to 5 in the Reconciliation Group field are determined by LN (while composing the sales invoice) based on the credit side of the revenue analysis posting ( End Account). Hence, the Dimension 1 Element Group Code for the segment is disabled.

For the following situations, segment Dimension 1 Element Group Code are not needed since the segment dimension value is determined by LN.
