With "Associated Dimensions" being setup within the system, you are able to work with Master Data and Documents in the normal manner.
The key change implemented through this functionality is that when a Dimension Code and Dimension Value combination are populated onto Master Data or Transactions, the system will perform a check to see whether any "Associated Dimensions" have been created for the Dimension Value and if so, the "Associated Dimensions" will also be populated onto the Master Data or Transaction automatically.
