what is line item dimension? when we need them?
how we will come to know we need to create line item
dimensions?

Answer Posted / gangadhar

If the volume of the masterdara of a dimension is growing
along with the transaction data then to improve the data
read performance of master data, we can create the
dimension as line item dimension.

when we create a dimension as line item dimension, the SID
of the characteristic will be joined directly with the fact
table without using dimID's.

Disadvantages : F4 help is not possible in data selection
screens for line item dimension.

Conditions : 1. The dimension should have only one
characteristic. 2. Master data of dimension >= 20% of
transaction data of infocube(interms of records).
