Custom Dimension 2
Return to Financial Consolidation model Overview
Elements in the Custom Dimension 2
dimension represent the companies within a group, i.e those companies for which you need a separate financial statement. All Custom Dimension 2
should aggregate to the grand total element Total Group
. The elements may be structured by a hierarchy of intermediate levels or be directly assigned to Total Group
. The number of elements in the Custom Dimension 2
dimension determine the number of items subject to consolidation. You may subdivide the total group into subgroups. The sample data includes subgroups EU
and AMER
.
In addition to the company elements, there are two elements with a special meaning:
~
(Not Applicable): data that is not broken down by aCustom Dimension 2
is stored in this element. This type of element is sometimes also referred to as a “dummy element”.Unassigned
: this element should be empty most of the time. It may refer to legal entities that are missing when data is imported from a source system. During the data load, the missing elements are created on the fly under the parentUnassigned
. When the dimension is maintained at a later point, the new elements will be relocated to their correct parent.
