Define Extended Dimension Structures

Follow the steps below to define extended dimension structures.

Procedure

  1. On the Maintain menu, click Extended Dim 1-4 Structure/Define. If you have changed the names of the Dim 1-4 properties in the Maintain/Configuration/General, tab 2, these names will be displayed on the Maintain menu and the tab. The Extended Dimension 1-4 window opens.
  2. To add a new extended dimension code to the extended dimension structure, click the New button. All text fields are cleared and prepared for entry.
  3. Enter an extended dimension code in the Code text box. The code can consist of four alphanumeric characters.
  4. Enter a description of the item in both the group and local languages.
  5. Enter the next higher level to where the item is connected. Level 0 is used for the extended dimension total.
  6. Clear this option if you do not want to include the extended dimension in the extended dimension selections in, for example, Data Entry, and if you do not want to display it in list boxes and reports.
  7. Select the Adjustment Dimension check box if the dimension is to be used as to an adjustment dimension when you are using extended dimensions to eliminate intercompany balances or intercompany profit. This is only applicable for extended dimension 1.
    Note: If the adjustment dimension is a part of an adjustment group, the group must also be defined as an adjustment dimension. Otherwise the elimination or difference will not be posted to the underlying adjustment dimension. For more information, see Define Control Tables - Intercompany Balances - the Advanced Taband Defining Control Tables for Intercompany Profit - the Advanced Tab.
