Detailed Profitability Dimension Types

A dimension type is a dimension property that enables the use of predefined functionality in the application.

The specific characteristics of the dimension type manage the behavior and functions of the dimension. Because Oracle Hyperion 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, such as Oracle Hyperion Planning.

Note:

When defining dimensional outlines, there are restricted characters that may not be used for naming. Oracle strongly suggests that you review the Oracle Essbase naming conventions described in the Oracle Essbase Database Administrator's Guideto view the latest restrictions.

Dimension Types describes dimension types used by all types of Profitability and Cost Management applications.
