Abstract
Any number of distinct dependent dimensions, associated with different object types, can be created and applied to accounting transactions. The distinct dependent dimensions can be used in generating reports, for example to provide insight into particular categories of transactions. Dimensional data can be captured along with transactional data, and subsequently used for categorizing and reporting on transactions. The distinct dependent dimensions can be organized in a hierarchical manner, for improved flexibility and functionality in categorizing and reporting on transactions. In addition, the dependent dimension structure can be used when generating and presenting user interface components, so that they properly restrict dimension data picklist values and prevent inconsistent dimension value selections.
