Dimension Analysis

The Dimension Analysis feature lets you dynamically define financial reporting centers without having to design and maintain a segmented or structured General Ledger. This is achieved by implementing a standard chart of accounts, defining tailored reporting categories and appending financial data to dimensions. We have simplified the linking of transactions to dimensions by populating default dimensions based on business logic.

Exploring

Dimension Analysis is available for programs within the following modules:

  • Accounts Receivable

  • Accounts Payable

  • Cash Book

  • Inventory Control

  • Sales Orders

  • Assets

  • Work in Progress

The Business Activity Queries functionality forms the basis of a Dimension Analysis dashboard that is supplied as part of the Embedded Analytics. Various filters within this dashboard let you manage the data you want to view.

  • Rich opportunity for analysis:

    • Data can be 'sliced and diced' according to your unique requirements.

      Detailed financial analysis and comprehensive reports can be provided regularly and with little effort.

  • Accurately track business:

    • Dimensions are linked to transactions when they occur as this is driven by dimension categories relevant to the business process. This enables you to add business context to your data.

  • Outstanding flexibility:

    • Admin productivity is greatly increased.

    • Dimensions can be added as the business grows or focus is adjusted.

    • Data entry and reporting capabilities can be modified without significant restructuring.

The programs related to this feature are accessed from the Program List of the SYSPRO menu:

  • Program List > General Ledger > Dimension Analysis

This is a listing of all accounts used within an organization's general ledger.

The element within the chart of accounts that acts as a transaction collector is known as the natural account or general ledger code. This is based on a specific account type (e.g. asset, liability, etc.) and is driven by the organization's activities.

For example:

1000 – Sales

In a structured general ledger the chart of accounts is configured with pre-defined sections within a fixed structure, where a new section must be defined for every business segment.

For example:

10-1000 is Cape Town Branch - Sales

The structure can be created using the GL Structure Definition program.

Dimension accounting uses a standard chart of accounts for all segments of the business, which typically only consists of the natural account (i.e. the Ledger Code Details section of the GL structure definition).

All other attributes required for the analysis of financial data, are configured as dimensions.

Dimension categories are reporting levels that are defined according to the unique requirements of your business.

For example:

If your business wants to report financial data per branch, then you would create a Branch dimension category.

Dimension codes are reporting units that are configured against a dimension category (i.e. reporting level).

For example:

If your business wants to report financial data per branch, and your have branches in various cities, then each of these cities will be created as a dimension code.

To simplify the recording of dimensions against transactions, we suggest that you define default dimension codes against master data elements.

If a master data element forms part of a transaction, SYSPRO pre-populates the dimensions based on the defaults defined, resulting in minimal operator interaction.

Master data refers to the core data that is absolutely essential for running operations within a business. It is data about key business entities that provides context for business transactions and operations. Data designated as master data can vary within industries.

For example:

Master data depicts the core entities of a business, such as customers, suppliers, materials, etc.

Posting rules can be defined against dimensions for specific ledger codes to provide additional control and ensure the Dimension Analysis is complete and valid.

For example:

If you don't want Dimension Analysis per branch against your balance sheet accounts, you can mark these accounts with a not allowed posting rule. An operator won't be able to capture Dimension Analysis for these accounts, regardless of the settings against individual business processes.

Starting

To use this feature, the following setup option(s) must be enabled:

Setup Options > General Ledger Integration > General Ledger Codes

  • Dimension analysis

    • When this is defined as Transaction entry level:

      Transactions are tagged with dimensions when posted in the sub module.

      Sub-module tables will not be tagged with dimension codes.

    • When this is defined as GL entry level:

      Transactions are tagged with dimensions when posted to the ledger.

  • Integration level

    We recommend that the Integration level of all ledger codes you want included in Dimension Analysis is defined as Control account in detail.

You can secure this feature by implementing a range of controls against the affected programs. Although not all these controls are applicable to each feature, they include the following:

  • You restrict operator access to dimension codes using the Operator Maintenance program.

    Select the Configure hyperlink at the Dimension analysis section (within the Security tab) to maintain access control options using the Dimension Analysis Security program.

  • You restrict operator access to activities within a program using the Operator Maintenance program.

  • You can restrict operator access to the fields within a program (configured using the Operator Maintenance program).

  • You can restrict operator access to functions within a program using passwords (configured using the Password Definition program).

    When defined, the password must be entered before you can access the function.

  • You can restrict access to the eSignature transactions within a program at operator, group, role or company level (configured using the Electronic Signature Configuration Setup program).

    Electronic Signatures provide security access, transaction logging and event triggering that gives you greater control over your system changes.

  • You can restrict operator access to programs by assigning them to groups and applying access control against the group (configured using the Operator Groups program).

  • You can restrict operator access to programs by assigning them to roles and applying access control against the role (configured using the Role Management program).

  • We strongly recommend that you don't define your ledger account Type as Template (General Ledger Codes) when using the Dimension Analysis functionality.

Solving

The Dimension Analysis feature has been enabled (i.e. the Dimension analysis setup option is defined as GL entry level or Transaction entry level) and configured with the Integration level defined as Linked to GL in summary or Linked to GL in detail (Setup Options > General Ledger Integration > General Ledger Codes).

We recommend that the Integration level of all ledger codes you want included in Dimension Analysis is defined as Control account in detail.

This is because transactions may not be tagged correctly if the Integration level is defined as Linked to GL in summary or Linked to GL in detail, which can then result in distorted data and inaccurate reports.

One of these messages may be displayed when you attempt to save dimension detail in the GL Dimension Analysis Capture program if the system's validation fails.

You can't save selected dimension detail in the following scenarios:

  • The operator doesn't have access to the selected dimension code.

  • The selected dimension code doesn't exist or is currently in a state of I - Inactive.

  • The dimension code is left blank and the posting rule against the ledger code is defined as Mandatory.

Depending on the cause for the failed validation, you can resolve this as follows:

  • The operator doesn't have access to the selected dimension code.

    Solution: Use the Dimension Analysis Security program to define the required access type against the operator.

  • The selected dimension code doesn't exist or is currently in a state of I - Inactive.

    Solution: Use the Dimension Code Maintenance program to maintain the status of the dimension code.

  • The dimension code is left blank and the posting rule against the ledger code is defined as Mandatory.

    Solution: Use the GL Default Dimension Maintenance program to ensure that the correct dimension code and posting rules are defined against the ledger code.

The Dimension analysis setup option can be defined as Transaction entry level or GL entry level.

  • If this is defined as Transaction entry level:

    Transactions are tagged with dimensions when they are posted in the sub module.

    This means that the GL Dimension Analysis Capture program is displayed when the transaction is processed in the transaction processing program.

  • When this is defined at GL entry level:

    Transactions will be tagged with dimensions when they are posted to the ledger.

    This means that the GL Dimension Analysis Capture program won't be displayed when the transaction is posted. Instead, a journal will be generated against the sub module. This journal will be placed on hold until it is released and posted using the GL Journal Entry program.

    When the journal is posted, the GL Dimension Analysis Capture program is displayed so that the dimensions can be captured.

The option you choose typically depends on the employee that captures the dimension data and the volumes involved.

If the employee has sufficient financial knowledge, you may want to choose to capture dimension entries at Transaction entry level.

If the employee is not as knowledgeable regarding the company's financial structure and accounts, you may want to choose to capture dimension entries at GL entry level, so that a person in the Finance department can capture dimensions when the GL journal is posted.

The GL entry level option would be feasible for lower volumes.

You can't save the selected dimension detail within the GL Dimension Analysis Capture program if any of the following apply:

  • The operator doesn't have access to the selected dimension code.

    Solution: Use the Dimension Analysis Security program to define the required access type against the operator.

  • The selected dimension code doesn't exist or is currently in a state of I - Inactive.

    Solution: Use the Dimension Code Maintenance program to maintain the status of the dimension code.

  • The dimension code is left blank and the posting rule against the ledger code is defined as Mandatory.

    Solution: Use the GL Default Dimension Maintenance program to ensure that the correct dimension code and posting rules are defined against the ledger code.

Priorities against master data are assigned to manage and resolve conflicts when a transaction could be tagged with more than one default dimension code.

Priorities are used to establish a hierarchy, which then determines which default dimension code takes precedence based on the prioritization of the source account or master data.

  1. Access the GL Dimension Source Maintenance program (Program List > General Ledger > Dimension Analysis > Setup).

  2. Select the dimension category that you want to link to a business process.

  3. Within the Dimension Source Details pane, enable the Business process required field.

  4. Within the Business Processes grid, select the business processes you want to link to the dimension category.

  5. Save your changes.

Only dimension categories with an A - Active status can be selected.

You can change the status of a dimension category using the GL Dimension Category Maintenance program.

The dimension category will only be displayed if it is linked to the business process or if the selected ledger code has a mandatory posting rule.

If the selected ledger code has a not allowed posting rule defined against it, the category will not be displayed (even though it is linked to the business process).

This may be due to a number of reasons:

  • Only dimension codes with an A - Active status can be selected.

    Solution: Use the Dimension Code Maintenance program to maintain the dimension code's current status.

  • Only the dimension codes for which the operator has access are displayed.

    Solution: Use the Dimension Analysis Security program to define the required access type against the operator.

  • You can only select dimension codes from the entity backed table (if the Entity backed field was enabled against the dimension category).

    Solution: Use the GL Dimension Category Maintenance program to enable or disable the Entity backed field against a dimension category.

The dimension code can't be selected or updated if the dimension category is linked to a ledger code where the posting rule is defined as Default.

This may be due to one of the following:

  • Only dimension codes with an A - Active status are displayed.

    Solution: Use the Dimension Code Maintenance program to change the status of the dimension code.

  • Only the dimension codes for which the operator has access are displayed.

    Solution: Use the Dimension Analysis Security program to define the required access type against the operator.

Posting rules are only available against ledger codes if you have selected the GenMaster table at the Master table field.

The default dimension code is determined as follows:

  • The system uses the default dimension code that was linked to the master data using the GL Default Dimension Maintenance program.

  • If more than one default exists for a dimension category, the priority against the ledger code is taken into consideration (i.e. the default is selected from the entity with the highest priority).

    Priorities can be assigned to a master data entity using the GL Dimension Analysis Priorities program.

  • If no default was assigned to the master data entity with the highest priority, then the default assigned to the ledger code with the next highest priority is selected.

If no defaults are defined against a dimension category, then the category is still displayed, but the operator must capture the dimension code manually.

Yes.

Update the dimension code defined against an existing transaction as follows:

  1. Open the GL Dimension Code Update program (Program List > General Ledger > Dimension Analysis > Setup).

  2. Filter the transactions according to your requirements using the Dimension Code Criteria.

  3. Update single transactions by entering or modifying the dimension code within the grid (i.e. Dimension code column).

  4. Apply your changes to the dimension codes for all the transactions displayed in the grid using the Update Codes button.

Using

Considerations:

  • The dimension codes must be linked to dimension categories using the Dimension Code Maintenance program.

  • You can configure default dimension codes against master data (customers, suppliers, etc) using the GL Default Dimension Maintenance program.

    If a transaction originates in a module that is configured for Dimension Analysis, the transaction will be automatically tagged with the default dimensions values defined against that ledger code.

  • You can assign priorities to ledger codes to using the GL Dimension Analysis Priorities program.

    Priority rules let you specify which default dimension code takes preference when more than one default is linked to a dimension category at master data level (the default assigned to the entity with the highest priority is then selected).

  • You can define the applicable data source (or business process) where you want to apply a dimension category using the GL Dimension Source Maintenance program.

    A business process can be linked to a maximum of 40 dimension categories, but only 10 categories are displayed within the GL Dimension Analysis Capture program.

  • When you have assigned default dimension codes to ledger codes, you can define posting rules against ledger codes using the GL Default Dimension Maintenance program.

    You can't assign posting rules to master data.

The following indicates areas in the product that may be affected by implementing this feature:

Accessible from the Configure option at the Dimension analysis section within the Security tab of the Operator Maintenance program.

This program lets you configure access control against operators to manage their access to dimension codes.

SYSPRO Ribbon bar > Setup

This program lets you maintain operator roles and configure settings and access to Dimension Analysis data for each role.

Program List > General Ledger > Dimension Analysis > Setup

This program lets you create and maintain reporting levels according to the unique requirements of your business.

Program List > General Ledger > Dimension Analysis > Setup

This program lets you create and maintain reporting levels according to the unique requirements of your business.

The reporting units (i.e. dimension codes) can then be linked to a dimension category.

Program List > General Ledger > Dimension Analysis > Setup

This program lets you update the dimension codes defined against an existing transaction.

This is typically performed when the dimension code against a transaction is blank, or the transaction was tagged with an incorrect code.

This Return blank dimension codes only field displays the dimension categories in the listview against which no dimension codes were defined or captured.

Program List > General Ledger > Dimension Analysis > Setup

This program lets you define which master data takes preference when tagging transactions that are included within Dimension Analysis.

This is typically used when more than one default exists for a dimension category, in which case the priority determines which dimension code is used.

Program List > General Ledger > Dimension Analysis > Setup

This program lets you configure default dimension codes against master data.

You can also create posting rules for a dimension category, which will determine whether transactions with this ledger code will be included in the dimension.

Program List > General Ledger > Dimension Analysis > Setup

This program lets you link a dimension category to business processes.

Once this link is established and a transaction originates within the business process, the transaction is then tagged with dimension analysis.

Program List > General Ledger > Setup

When the Dimension analysis setup option is enabled for any sub module, a warning message is displayed within this program if the operator selects the Detail transactions or Summary transactions option against the Sub-ledger integration method field.

This program lets you review and update dimension codes for a transaction before it is posted or processed.

The GL Dimension Analysis Capture program is displayed when transactions are posted in the following programs, which then prompts the user to capture the dimension values:

  • Accounts Receivable

    • AR Invoice Posting

Program List > General Ledger > Dimension Analysis

This program lets you extract the dimensions from the GenDimensionDet table to a separate extract table that is then used for reporting purposes and in the GL Dimension Analysis Query program.

This optimizes the query and reporting process in high-volume environments.

Transactions in the following programs are tagged with the dimension entry number using the default dimension codes.

  • Document Print

  • Stock Take Confirmation

  • Sales Order Entry

  • Sales Order Entry Express

The GL Dimension Analysis Capture program won't be displayed when posting transactions, as the GL Dimension Analysis Business Object business object is used to update the dimension analysis details.

Although Sales Order Entry and Sales Order Entry Express are posting programs, they are treated as batch programs in Dimension Analysis, because of the number of lines that can be attached to each sales order. Both programs use the Document Print program to process the invoice.
