How You Add Attribute Dimensions to Measures
Use the Manage Planning Measures task to add attribute dimensions to measures, from the Plan Inputs, Supply Planning, or Demand and Supply Planning work areas. Measure contexts are of three types:
-
Default: All predefined and user-defined measures contain only predefined dimensions, their hierarchies, and their stored levels.
-
Project: Predefined measures contain project dimensions and other applicable predefined dimensions. User-defined measures can also have the project dimension selected during creation or the project dimension can be added using Change Granularity.
-
Planning Attributes: Predefined measures can be deployed with planning attribute dimensions, including the project dimension, using Change Granularity. User-defined measures can also have planning attributes and the project dimension selected during creation or added with Change Granularity.
-
To find planning attributes dimensions, in the Measure Context menu, select Planning Attributes.
-
To add planning dimensions to a predefined or use-defined measure, click Change Granularity, and use the selector. Change granularity is enabled in non-default measure contexts; and allows deploying planning attribute dimensions including Project in planning attributes measure context, and only project dimension for user-defined measures in project measure context.
For more information about planning measures, refer to the Planning Measures chapter in this guide.
Example
Here's an example of how an added measure can contain different combinations of dimensions, hierarchies, and stored levels or granularities across measure contexts. Let's assume that the measure is Planned Orders. This table lists the measure contexts, dimensions, and stored levels.
