Adding Fair Value Dimensions
Fair value dimensions are fields that you add to the fair value price record. For example, if you add a fair value dimension for subsidiary, a subsidiary field appears on the fair value price record. The dimensions you add appear in the Fair Value Dimension group on the fair value price record. The dimensions do not automatically appear in the fair value price list, but you can create a custom list view to add them. For information, see Customizing List Views.
The fair value dimensions may be custom segments. The custom fields may be automatically populated in the revenue arrangement columns using revenue recognition field mapping. For more information, see Mapping Revenue Recognition Fields.
The Fair Value Dimension permission controls access to the Fair Value Dimension page. This permission belongs to the Lists permission type.
