Hi Pinky....

To identify dimensions and fact tables we no need to have
real time exp. Just Assume few dimensions and think for
proper justifications according to ur Project.” But Stick
to Basic Concepts".

My Assumptions

Dimensions are Products, Location(Area),Time, Employees,
Retailers or Dealers, Inventory, Logistics.....etc

Fact (Measures)
Sales target, Returned Sales, Purchase Returns
Revenue, Quantity, gross profit, net income, losses,
margin, Fright, operational cost
unit cost, unit price...etc.

Good Luck
