    Please contact the company for which you are implementing. they have to decide this and also check with functional people in your organization.

    Hi,

    This is not you duty or task to decide global dimension. You have to contact or your functional team will consult to your client to decide what should be the global dimension for our company. Any ways most popular global dimension is "Area" and "Department" but it is not compulsory that it would be same for your client's company.  

    Thanks

    From a developers point of view, I think it should be the two dimensions which you wish to see most often.

    I say this as these two dimensions are often stored on the record (as well as in the separate table with all of the other dimensions) so that they are easy to add to pages/forms and reports.  This means that they can be seen without having to open another page/form without having to do additional development in the background.  

    Obviously a customer will have their own dimensions and should know which ones are most commonly used.  As previously suggested, Area, Department and Project are fairly common but a customer might not even have those dimensions!
