​Adding GL Dimension to FC Data Model

[Eyal_Feiler]

Hi Experts,

We have an SAP FC client running BFC on SQL Server using the IFRS starter kit. On top of the standard dimensions they added functional area (5 values) profit center (1200 values).

Now they want to add GL account as a dimension (2200 values) for better visibility to their data.

Is there any guide/rule of thumb for adding dimensionality?

We have advised them not to add the dimension rather expand some more detail for accounts where necessary.

Regards,

Eyal

Hi,

It depends on the need.
As indicated in the user guide, dimensions enable you to analyze, characteristics enable to group amounts.
Please, check the documentation.
