	<HelpTopic><AimSection><Paragraph>Use this session to list the <Link href="/baanerp/tf/glossary/glossary#Dimension.tf" role="glossary">dimensions</Link> of a dimension type.</Paragraph>
		</AimSection>
		<GeneralSection><Paragraph>For each dimension type, you can define dimensions and link them to parent dimensions and child dimensions.</Paragraph>
			<Paragraph>You must define a structure for dimensions. The dimension structure works with sublevels and parent-child relationships similar to the chart of accounts structure.</Paragraph>
			<Paragraph>To support dimension mapping in the <Link href="/baanerp/tf/glossary/glossary#000015" role="glossary">integration mapping scheme</Link>, you can import the codes of various entities and properties defined in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/mcs" role="module">Tables</GUIRef> module of <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc" role="package">Common Data</GUIRef> to create the dimensions. For example, for the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Total Items</GUIRef> dimension type, you can import the item groups, which results in the addition of as many dimensions as item groups, and with the item group codes.</Paragraph>
			<Paragraph>If you import departments, enterprise units, or warehouses, SSA ERP only imports the departments, enterprise units, or warehouses that are linked to the financial company in which you are working.</Paragraph>
			<ProcedureList><ListIntro>To import the dimensions from the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/mcs" role="module">Tables</GUIRef> module, take the following steps:</ListIntro>
				<ListItem>Display the dimension type to which you want to add the dimensions.</ListItem>
				<ListItem>On the <GUIRef href="" role="menu">Specific</GUIRef> menu, click <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Import Dimensions</GUIRef> and next, click the entity or property that you want to import. SSA ERP now automatically adds the codes of the selected entity or property to the dimension type.</ListItem>
			</ProcedureList>
			<Paragraph>To remove ranges of the generated dimensions, on the <GUIRef href="" role="menu">Edit</GUIRef> menu, click <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Delete Range</GUIRef>. Next, select the first and the last record of the range. SSA ERP asks you to confirm that you want to delete the range of records. Dimensions that are already in use cannot be deleted.</Paragraph>
