maximum amount of dimensions in dimension analysis FC 7.5

[Former Member]

Hello, dear colleagues!

Our project team have met problem, using SAP Business Objects Financial consolidation 7.5 (service pack 13 installed). Problem ties with dimension analysis in category. When we try adjust u201Cbreakdown of dimension analysisu201D by 7 dimensions, category canu2019t be validated and we have to shut down Financial Consolidation through task manager (system doesnu2019t respond after starting validation process u2013 at least 5 hours was not enough when we tested it). If we try to adjust breakdown u201Cbreakdown of dimension analysisu201D only by 6 dimensions, system works correct, and category validate within 3-4 seconds. We havenu2019t find any information about maximum number of possible dimensions in breakdown, but itu2019s hard to believe, that itu2019s only 6. We use "post breakdown total to a higher level" options in breakdown.

If anyone has any ideas, please post an answer! Thanks!

Hello Alexander

The link is to a published KB article on the SMP

For this to work, you need to be a registered user (i.e. have a valid S-number)

But, to summarize: BFC currently only supports up to 7 dimensions in a Dimensional Analysis.

Best regards,

Marc
