Design Details: Table Structure

To understand how dimension entries are stored and posted, it is important to understand the table structure.

Table 480, Dimension Set Entry

You cannot change this table. After data has been written to the table, you cannot delete or edit it.

Field No.	Field Name	Data Type	Comment
1	ID	Integer	>0.0 is reserved for the empty dimension set. References field 3 in table 481.
2	Dimension Code	Code 20	Table relation to table 348.
3	Dimension Value Code	Code 20	Table relation to table 349.
4	Dimension Value ID	Integer	References field 12 in table 349. It is the secondary key that is used when traversing table 481.
5	Dimension Name	Text 30	CalcField. Lookup to table 348.
6	Dimension Value Name	Text 30	CalcField. Lookup to table 349.

Table 481, Dimension Set Tree Node

You cannot change this table. It is used to search for a dimension set. If the dimension set is not found, a new set is created.

Field No.	Field Name	Data Type	Comment
1	Parent Dimension Set ID	Integer	0 for top level node.
2	Dimension Value ID	Integer	Table relation to field 12 in table 349.
3	Dimension Set ID	Integer	AutoIncrement. Used in field 1 in table 480.
4	In Use	Boolean	False if not in use.

Table 482 Reclas. Dimension Set Buffer

This table is used when you change a dimension value code, for example, on an item ledger entry by using the Item Reclassification Journal page.

Field No.	Field Name	Data Type	Comment
1	Dimension Code	Code 20	Table relation to table 348.
2	Dimension Value Code	Code 20	Table relation to table 349.
3	Dimension Value ID	Integer	References field 12 in table 349.
4	New Dimension Value Code	Code 20	Table relation to table 349.
5	New Dimension Value ID	Integer	References field 12 in table 349.
6	Dimension Name	Text 30	CalcField. Lookup to table 348.
7	Dimension Value Name	Text 30	CalcField. Lookup to table 349.
8	New Dimension Value Name	Text 30	CalcField. Lookup to table 349.

Transaction and Budget Tables

In addition to other dimension fields in the table, this field is important:

Field No.	Field Name	Data Type	Comment
480	Dimension Set ID	Integer	References field 1 in table 480.

Table 83, Item Journal Line

In addition to other dimension fields in the table, these fields are important.

Field No.	Field Name	Data Type	Comment
480	Dimension Set ID	Integer	References field 1 in table 480.
481	New Dimension Set ID	Integer	References field 1 in table 480.

Table 349, Dimension Value

In addition to other dimension fields in the table, these fields are important.

Field No.	Field Name	Data Type	Comment
12	Dimension Value ID	Integer	AutoIncrement. Used for references in table 480 and table 481.

Tables That Contain the Dimension Set ID Field

The Dimension Set ID field (480) exists in the following tables. For the tables that store posted data, the field only provides a non-editable display of dimensions, which is marked as Drill-down. For the tables that store working documents, the field is editable. The buffer tables that are used internally do not need editable or non-editable capabilities.
