# Reporting Dimensions

## Overview

To support group reporting, reporting dimensions and associated **dimension values** can be created in the **Reporting Dimensions** workspace. This makes it possible to distinguish group companies by specific selection criteria. In the **Reports** folder, a filter is shown for each reporting dimension, allowing specific restrictions to be made.

Individual reporting dimensions can be assigned **dimension values**.

## Navigation

The master data workspace **Reporting Dimension** can be opened under **Master Data | Reporting Dimension**.

The **Reporting Dimension** master data workspace is displayed as follows, for example:

## Example

The following table shows two **reporting dimensions** and their **dimension values**:

#### Region

- Europe
- Asia
- North America
- South America

#### Business Unit

- Automotive
- Industry

## Creating Dimension Value

Proceed as follows to create a new **dimension value** for a reporting dimension:

1. In the **Reporting Dimension** workspace, click **Create**. The **Reporting Dimension** detail view is displayed:

2. Do one of the following:
       - Create a new **dimension value** based on an existing one: In the drop-down list **Copy based on**, select an existing **dimension value** and then click **Copy now**.
       - Configure an ID, account name, and type for a new dimension (see section [Configuring Reporting Dimension](#createrepdim)).

3. Click **Create**.
## Configuring Dimension Value

To create a new **dimension value**, the following properties must be configured:

| Option | Description |
|---------|---------|
| ID | The **ID** is used to clearly label and identify the respective dimension value. Both numbers and letters can be used.  It is not possible to modify an ID at a later point in time. |
| Name | A dimension value must be assigned a name.  This name can be changed at a later point in time. |
| Type | Here, the dimension value is assigned to a reporting dimension. Maintenance of the available reporting dimensions is carried out in the master data workspace **Administration | Miscellaneous** _._ The entries can be stored there in multiple languages. |

## Using Dimension Values

Dimension values can be assigned to individual group units in the [Companies](https://support.lucanet.com/en/documentation/income-taxes/income-taxes/master-data-income-taxes/companies.md) workspace. Multiple reporting dimensions can also be assigned to a company.

- This enables flexible evaluations in the **Reports** area.
- In addition, reporting dimensions can be used when [granting authorizations](https://support.lucanet.com/en/documentation/income-taxes/tax-administration/role-allocation.md).
