Dimension values can be set up in a hierarchical structure similar to the chart of accounts, so that data can be broken down into various levels of granularity, and subsets of dimension values can be totaled. For example, values might be departments in your company.

You set up dimensions on the Dimensions page, where you create one line for each dimension, such as Project, Department, Area, and Salesperson. You can define the dimensions and dimension values to categorize journals and documents, such as sales orders and purchase orders. Instead of explicitly storing each dimension value in the database, a dimension set ID is assigned to the journal line, document header, or document line to specify the dimension set. When you create a journal line, document header, or document line, you can specify a combination of dimension values. The dimension set is identified by a common dimension set ID that is assigned to each dimension set entry that belongs to the dimension set. Each dimension set entry represents a single dimension value. It is stored as dimension set entries in the database.
