I'm trying to update my reference data and I was wondering how many custom dimensions are we allowed to create? What are some examples of common custom dimensions that people use?

Hi Andrew,

You can create up to ten custom dimensions. This does not include the three dimensions the product ships with: Cost Pool, Cost Center, and Account. Custom dimensions are used as filters on reports and adds additional attributes to your budget line items. Two common customer dimensions are Projects and Vendors.

I tested this yesterday and agree with Ngoc - 10 custom dimensions are available at this time.

Thanks Ngoc. The how-to help on managing built-in and custom dimensions is located here in the IT Planning Knowledge Base: Manage dimensions. Feedback on the help is always welcome.
