Shortcut Dimensions Company Code relationship

Hi all

I am trying to remove a large admin headache from our accounting processes which involves shortcut dimensions and their relationship to company codes.

I currently have a shortcut dimension for each store. I cannot change them as they tie directly in to our reporting.

When these shortcuts were set up they were assigned to one of the group's companies. Now the group is a bit bigger, one store can conduct trade on behalf of multiple companies. So my head ache is this: All expenses that go through the shortcut dimensions for the store must be analysed out manually in to their respective Company activities, then manually adjusted across the group via inter-company accounts.

Is there a way in which i can assign one shortcut dimension to multiple companies? And if so, how do I do that, and how do I choose the company in the invoice creation screen within vendors?

Alternatively, I have considered setting multiple shortcut dimensions per store which are assigned to each legal entity. But this would arguably be another admin headache in itself.

Happy for any guidance / suggestions on how to solve this!

Thanks in advance!
