3.6.3.2 Simple Dimensions Used for Processing or Reporting Purposes
This kind of Simple Dimension cannot be used directly by the application engines, but they are accessible to OFSAA Filter rules.
Credit Rating is an example of a seeded Simple Dimension that may be used for processing or reporting purposes. You may, for example, wish to allocate risk equity to individual instruments as a function of Credit Rating. The seeded values for Credit Rating are Moody's credit ratings, but you are free to completely redefine the membership of this dimension. Geographic Location is another example. Geographic Location is pre-populated with the US States and Canadian provinces, but you are free to completely redefine the completely geographic locations.
