Return to Models Overview
The Posting Journal Configuration dimension defines the ledgers of the Posting Journal. When a journal entry of a ledger is posted, the generic fields of the posting journal are mapped to the specific dimension layout and elements of the cube to which the totalized amounts are posted.
The posting journal is organized in ledgers where each journal entry belongs to one of the ledgers. Each ledger consists of one or more slices (which is a data area within a cube). Some definitions apply to the ledger level while others apply to the slice level.
Elements in this dimension are made up of the following levels:
|
Level |
Name |
Type |
Description |
|
1 |
All Ledgers |
Empty |
Parent element for all ledgers |
| 2 |
Ledger |
Definition of a particular ledger and parent to all slices of this ledger |
|
|
3 |
Slice |
Definition of a particular slice in a cube |
