Hi Sneha,

I guess you are aware that summarization levels dramatically improve the performance in reporting. The only disadvantage is that you have to maintain them i.e. at the end of the working day you have to update them on daily basis so that they reflect the current data. Also if you add or delete characteristics / value fields then you have to rebuild them.

Also they occupy space in the database.

However the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages
