Hi Narayan,

I would suggest you to use dimensions.

Hi ERIC,

I have used dimension for another classification

#4

Hi Narayan,

This a difficult one to answer without knowing the details - e.g. what is the reporting requirement, common customer base etc

Have a look at responsibility centers - this will group but you may have some development to do around filtering views of the data.

Yes, but you can just add more dimensions.

#6

What do you need to analyse?

I believe that in the standard system you can run with upto 8 Dimensions.

One option is to use a name convention on the DIMENSION to give groupings.

For example A-AA for Division A unit AA, then A-BB for unit B then B-AA for Division B (but with more user friendly name).

We use dimensions for Division, Cost Centre, Sales Category, Product Line, Product Class and Project.

We use Analysis Views to provide a pivot on the data by any combination of those dimensions.
