Use this form to create constraints for financial dimensions in an account structure. Constraints are the rules that define the valid combinations of accounts for an account structure.

Example 1

One of your legal entity’s account structures includes a main account and a Department financial dimension. Department values 12000 through 14000 also include a Cost center financial dimension. You add the following constraint to the Department financial dimension:

Where Department is between and includes 12000 through 14000

Only department codes that are between 12000 and 14000, which includes 12000 and 14000, will be valid department values for the Cost center financial dimension.

Example 2

One of your legal entity’s account structures includes a main account, a Business unit financial dimension, and a Customer financial dimension. Business unit values 1600 through 1699 include Customer financial dimension value 500. You add the following constraint to the Business unit financial dimension:

Where Business unit begins with 16

You add the following constraint to the Customer financial dimension:
