Abstract
A method and apparatus are provided for mapping dimension-based financial data to allow segment-based reporting. The method includes selecting a set of dimensions from the dimension-based accounting data and defining an order for the selected dimensions to define a segment-based account code structure. The segment-based account code structure and the dimension-based data are then used to construct segment-based account codes that can be used in segment-based reporting.
