Profitability and Cost Management Alias Dimensions

Aliases are alternate names, descriptions, languages, or other items that help to define dimensions. For example, you may refer to a customer number in the system, but you can assign an alias that displays the company name on the screen, to make it easier to identify that client. You can assign one or more aliases to accounts, currencies, entities, scenarios, periods, versions, years, and user-defined dimension members.

Note:

Duplicate member names or aliases are not allowed.

Avoid naming aliases for dimension members with the same name as the member names of other members. This can cause circular logic in Oracle Smart View for Office that leads to problems executing queries that reference these members.
