Each Cubix model has the following eight dimensions:
| Dimension | Description |
|---|---|
| Entity | Company, Divisions, Business Locations or Groups |
| Version | Actuals, Budgets, Forecast etc. |
| Time | Periods – Months ,Quarters etc. |
| Variable | Profit and Loss, Balance Sheet lines, Data Items etc. |
| Product | Additional Detail for Variables |
| Currency View | Local or Base (Reporting) Currency |
| Mode | Periodic Value or Year to Date |
| View | Original Input, Adjustment or Net |
In addition to the key dimensions, you can set up calculation rules, currency conversions and if necessary, advanced financial features such as journal processing and inter-company balance management.
The process of building a model is to work through each dimension in turn and add in the individual elements that define you content and business structure. This first time you edit a new model, a wizard will help you through each dimension in turn. If you wish to bypass the wizard, just click on the Exit Wizard button to the bottom right.
