• Key Concepts: 
  Dimensional constraint is a feature of SAP Business Planning and Consolidation (EPM-BPC) that allows users to define the data that can be entered into a specific cell. This feature helps to ensure that data is entered in a consistent and accurate manner. It also helps to prevent errors by restricting the data that can be entered into a cell.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use dimensional constraint, users must first define the dimensions of the data they want to enter into a cell. This includes defining the type of data, such as text, numbers, or dates. Once the dimensions are defined, users can then set up rules for each dimension. These rules will determine what type of data can be entered into the cell. For example, if a user wants to enter only numbers into a cell, they can set up a rule that only allows numbers to be entered.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up dimensional constraints, it is important to consider how the data will be used. For example, if the data will be used for calculations or analysis, it is important to ensure that only valid data is entered into the cell. Additionally, it is important to consider how often the rules need to be updated as business needs change.
