Dimension combinations allow organisations to define rules governing which pairs of dimensions may be used together in documents and ledger entries. These rules help maintain data integrity and ensure consistency in financial reporting.

You can configure combinations as:

Allowed – freely usable together
Limited – only specific value pairings permitted
Blocked – never permitted concurrently

• Test in sandbox: assess impact before enforcing rules in production
• Document your logic: ensure finance and functional teams understand the rationale behind restrictions
