About Dimensions in Standard Profitability and Cost Management Applications
Oracle Hyperion Profitability and Cost Management uses dimensions and members created in the Profitability Applications Console to represent many of the structural elements of the business model in an Oracle Essbase application outline.
A dimension type is a dimension property that enables the use of predefined functionality. The specific characteristics of the dimension type manage the behavior and functions of the dimension. Because Profitability and Cost Management and other Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management Workspace products may share certain dimension types, you can leverage the functionality of dimensions for different products.
