Hi, in setting up the 4.0 dimension rules for a customer I wanted to bring 
 
forward two suggestions: 
 
1) if there is a x:1 relationship in the hierarchies between 2 dimensions, 
 
please allow for defaulting the :1 value into the dimension field. Currently, 
 
I can limit the selections to the 1 value that is possible but it would be 
 
more practical to simply default it into the field once the other dimension 
 
has been picked. 
 
2) I have the following matrix to set up 
 
Values in 
 
GL account   Department   CC       Purpose        Department  CC  Purpose 
 
1*             None           Optional   None                              ALL 
 
2*             None           Optional   None                              ALL 
 
3*             None           Optional   None                              ALL 
 
5*             None            Yes         Yes 
 
Specific  ALL 
 
6*             None            Yes         Yes 
 
Specific  ALL 
 
7*             Yes              Yes         None               ALL 
 
Specific 
 
8*, 9*       None            None       None 
 
The only way to set this right now with the new dimensions and rules is by 
 
specifying each and every account in the rules set where I have to go down to 
 
the ledger account level and cannot use the journal level.  This is very 
 
tedious and maintenance unfriendly. 
 
Suggestion here: Please allow for specifying ranges of accounts in the 
 
specification field vs. having to create a line for every single ledger 
 
account in all diff. combinations, goes also for the journal setup (however 
 
there are way fewer journals than accounts). 
 
Thanks for listening,
