- It should be noted that multiple dimension formats can exist for a single dimension format type, but only one format for a dimension format type can be active.
There are four dimension format types:
Default dimension format: This format type is required any time that you import default dimensions, through both Data Management and the Microsoft Excel integration.
Ledger dimension format: This format type is required any time that you import ledger dimensions, through both Data Management and the Excel integration. The ledger dimension format is the most common format, because it’s used any time that transactions are imported, such as through the general journal.
Budget register dimension format: This format type is required any time that you import dimensions for budgeting and budget control, through both Data Management and the Excel integration.
Budget planning dimension format: This format type is required any time that you import dimensions for budget planning, through both Data Management and the Excel integration.
