General Considerations
Each of the The business segments dimensions will contain a hierarchical structure of consolidated and numeric leaf elements.
The consolidated elements sum up the assigned childrenleaf elements. Only the lowest level (N or leaf elements) can store data. The minimum structure should include a root element (e.g. FIN Company Rollups), a dimension total (e.g. Total FIN Company) and a dummy element to store any data that is lacking the business segment detail. The "Total" element should always contain all numeric elements of the dimension so that no potential data points are missing when looking at the total.
