Topic: Heirarchical Dimensions

Hi Joe,

When we say we can use dimension for setting up cost-centre inside department inside company. Does this mean we can set hierarchy or we have to manually take care that cost centre from one department is not selected in other department.

Thanks

Re: Heirarchical Dimensions

You have to manuelly take care of the using of level 1 and level 2. You may help yourself by naming them accordingly.

Re: Heirarchical Dimensions

Hi Joe,

Thanks for your reply. I need your advice here. The need is -

1. System had 4 levels of locations. Say, HO, Sub Level 1, Sub Level 2, Sub Level 3 locations hierarchically.
2. There are users from all levels. Each user can make accounting entry for his own level and can access reports of own and sub levels.
3. This needs to be designed for accounting.

So, I was wondering how can we design/find solution to integrate this scenario.

Thanks,

Chaitanya

Re: Heirarchical Dimensions

Yes, just put them on the transactionline in that order you want the end results. Remember there are only the head account, then level1 dimension and then level2 dimension. You can always take reports for a dimension isolated, but by having the level1 you can keep track of a department or so. Level1 is higher in the organization. You can only select level1 and no level2 filter, or you can select level1 and a level2 filter.
Later in the 2.2.X history we are also introducing the account and dimension tags to filter reports even more. Exciting!
