Unlock the power of Dimensional Reporting

Gravity Software®'s Dimensional Reporting simplifies multi-entity financial analysis with flexible transaction tagging and advanced reporting control.Rather than expanding your chart of accounts to track every location, department, or project, you can assign dimension values directly to transactions — making it easier to slice and dice your financial data any way you need.

From real-time reporting to budgeting by dimension, Gravity gives you the tools to manage complexity without compromising simplicity.

 

 

Move beyond a bloated Chart of Accounts

Traditional accounting systems force you to expand your chart of accounts to handle multiple departments, cost centers, or project codes. With Gravity Software, you simply tag transactions using dimensions — giving you clean, consistent data with far more flexibility.

You can:

  • Tag entries with any combination of values

  • Create logic rules for when tags must or must not be used

  • Build hierarchies across dimensions for structured analysis

  • Run reports across companies, departments, or projects — instantly

All built natively on the Microsoft Power Platform.

Frequently
asked
questions

What is dimensional reporting in accounting software?

Dimensional reporting allows you to tag financial transactions with customizable attributes — such as department, project, location, or employee — and then generate reports based on those tags. It provides more flexibility than a traditional chart of accounts by letting you slice and analyze financial data without expanding account structures.

How many dimensions can I use in Gravity Software?

Gravity Software supports up to three user-defined dimensions. You can name them anything you want (e.g., Grant, Project, Region) and use them independently or in a parent-child hierarchy for more structured analysis.

Can I apply rules to control when dimensions are required?

Yes. Gravity lets you set dimension usage rules based on account numbers or transaction types. You can define whether a dimension is:

  • Required
  • Optional
  • Not allowed

This ensures data consistency and prevents tagging errors.

Does Gravity allow dimension hierarchies (like project → task)?

Absolutely. Gravity supports dimension hierarchies, so you can create structured relationships (e.g., Project → Task → Subtask). This is especially useful for project-based accounting or multi-layered reporting needs.

Where can I apply dimensions in the system?

You can apply dimensions across the key transaction types in Gravity Software, including:

  • Bank Book Entries
  • Inventory Transactions
  • Invoices
  • Journal Entries
  • Purchase Orders
  • Sales Orders
  • Vouchers
Wherever these transactions occur, Gravity allows you to tag them with up to three dimensions — giving you powerful control over how financial activity is tracked and reported.

Can I report by dimension across multiple companies?

Yes. Gravity Software is built for multi-entity accounting, and dimensions can be used across all entities in your organization. You can run consolidated reports by dimension or filter down to specific values across one or more companies.

Can I export dimensional reports to Excel or Power BI?

Yes. All reports in Gravity — including dimensional reports — can be exported to Excel or connected to Power BI for more advanced analytics and visual dashboards.

Does Gravity support budgeting by dimension?

Yes. You can build budget-to-actual reports at the dimension level. This is ideal for planning and analyzing performance by project, department, or funding source.

How does dimensional reporting differ from segmented accounts?

Segmented accounts require predefined account structures (like a separate account number for every department or location). Dimensional reporting uses tags instead — making it easier to scale and adjust your reporting without cluttering your chart of accounts.

Is dimensional reporting included with Gravity, or is it an add-on?

Dimensional reporting is a core feature of Gravity Software and is included with the standard financial management modules. It’s not a separate add-on or integration.
