Tag a dimension as accounts if it contains items that you want to measure, such as profit or inventory.
Rules when tagging a dimension as accounts:
All members in the accounts dimension inherit the accounts property.
You can specify that members of the accounts dimension are calculated on the second pass through an outline. See Setting Two-Pass Calculations.
You can create an outline that does not have an accounts dimension.
To tag a dimension as accounts, see “Tagging an Accounts Dimension” in the Oracle Essbase Administration Services Online Help.
The following sections describe built-in functionality for accounts dimensions.
