Dimensions Overview

Financial Consolidation and Close provides a set of consolidation and close features that includes out-of-the-box translations, consolidation, eliminations and adjustments. Depending on the functionality required for the application, the system enables only the dimensions that are needed for the features.

By default, when you create an application, the system creates these dimensions:

  • Account

  • Period

  • Data Source

  • Consolidation

  • Currency (Only if Multi-currency is selected)

  • Entity

  • Intercompany (Only if Intercompany is selected during application creation)

  • Movement

  • Scenario

  • Year

  • View

  • Multi-GAAP (Only if Multi-GAAP is selected during application creation)

In addition to these dimensions, you can create custom dimensions. Add Custom dimensions after the Intercompany dimension and before the Movement dimension.

You cannot make changes to the default properties of dimensions. The default properties are used in seeded calculations. Each dimension is seeded with a set of members. See Seeded Dimension Members.

The following sections describe the system-defined dimensions.
