Summary


In this chapter, we have learned the settings of all standard dimensions and also discussed in detail which settings would be appropriate to select, for a given a situation/requirement.

We understood the typical hierarchies of Accounts dimensions, for example: Balance Sheets, Income Statements, Cash Flows, and Statistics. We also understood the importance of Account Types and how they impacts the settings of Time Balance, Variance, and Data Type.

We explored each and every setting option starting from Accounts Dimension and moving on to all other standard Planning dimensions.

We spoke of Dimension settings, Performance settings and Evaluation order at the end. We used the Planning application PandB all through this chapter and gained more insight into the Planning application and its dimension settings. We should feel like designers for a while. It's been a tough water to cross so let us move ahead to next chapter where we'll learn all about metadata upload.
