default dimension of a dimension

Hi everyone,

I hope everyone are having a good day.

Is there any possible way that a dimension has own default dimensions?

For Example, when you pick a costcenter(dimension) in the purchase order line, automatically fill the businessunit(another dimension). I search everywhere, but I didn't find anything.

    HI Mustafa Manga 

    This can be achieved using derived dimension, where you can select which dimension should be derived based on selection of the other dimension:

    As you can see in the above image, you can add multiple derived dimension based on selection of main dimension. You can also apply filter by replacing existing dimension.

    Please let us know if this helps.

    Thanks,

    Default dimension of a dimension

    Hello everyone, I hope having a great day.

    Is there a any possible way that assign a default dimension to another dimension?

    For example, When you pick a Costcenter(dimension) in purchase order line, automatically fill the businessunit(another dimension) in the line?

    I searched everywhere, but I didn't find anything about it.

    Have a nice day.
