Essbase - Accounts Dimensions

Accounts dimensions are dimension that contains items that you want to measure, such as profit and inventory, and makes Essbase built-in accounting functionality available.

For a dimension tagged as accounts dimension, you have two types of calculations :

• time balance
• and variance.

• You can tag only one dimension in an outline as accounts.
• All members in the accounts dimension inherit the accounts property.
• You can specify that members of the accounts dimension are calculated on the second pass through an outline.
• You can create an outline that does not have an accounts dimension.
