Design Details: Table Structure
To understand how the dimension entry storing and posting is redesigned, it is important to understand the table structure.
New Tables
Three new tables have been designed to manage dimension set entries.
Table 480 Dimension Set Entry
Table 480 Dimension Set Entry is a new table. You cannot change this table. After data has been written to the table, you cannot delete or edit it. Deleting data requires that you check against all occurrences of the dimension set ID in the entire database, including partner solutions.
| 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
Table 481 Dimension Set Tree Node is a new table. 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
Table 482 Reclas. Dimension Set Buffer is a new table. The table is used to edit a dimension set ID. It is required when you edit a dimension value code and a new dimension value code, for example, in the Item Reclas. Journal table.
| Field No. | Field Name | Data Type | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Dimension Code | Code 20 | Table relation to table 348. |

| 5 | New Dimension Value ID | Integer | References field 12 in table 349. |
| 6 | Dimension Name | Text 30 | CalcField. Lookup to table 348. |
