Hello All..

Wht's the exact difference bet'n Global Dimension 1 code & shortcut Dim. 1 code?

Deep

Global Dimension 1 is directly stored to G/L entry. You can filter the G/L entry directly using a table filter/field filter.
Shortcut dimension are updated over the Ledger Entry Dimensions table.

When you are using analysis by dimensions, the information is retreived from the ledger entry dimension table. For the Global dimensions to be updated in ths table, they need to be configured as shortcut dimensions.

You can also use the ledger entry dimension table for fetching the dimension information on the basis of Table No. and Entry No. for both Global and shortcut dimensions.
