Page 4 of 4 Analysis Codes An analysis dimension identifies an analysis heading. For each dimension, you can define an unlimited number of analysis codes, and it is these codes that you enter on the transactions and static data entities. For example, if you need to analyze your sales transactions by sales area, you could define an analysis dimension called Sales Area and then create the following sales area codes:
Code
| Sales Area
| NTH
| UK Northern sales area
| MID
| UK Midlands sales area
| STH
| UK Southern sales area
| FR
| France
| IT
| Italy
| HK
| Hong Kong
| AU
| Australia
| US
| USA
|
There are two ways of setting up analysis codes:
- You can set up the valid analysis codes manually by entering the codes and their descriptions using Analysis Codes Setup (NC).
- You can reference a set of codes that has already been defined in another SunSystems table. For example, you may wish to analyze the ledger transactions relating to employee expenses by Employee code. Employees are defined in the Order Fulfilment module. You can use the existing Employee codes as the analysis codes for the Employee code dimension. See Linking Existing Codes to an Analysis Dimension for a list of the SunSystems entities you can use as analysis dimension codes.

You can also define an analysis dimension that does not require pre-defined analysis codes. In this situation, any code can be entered for the analysis dimension as they are not validated. This should be used with caution because it potentially allows incorrect codes to entered. However, it may be useful if you need to enter one-off codes, or codes that are always changing, for example transaction references, or insurance policy numbers, customer reference codes etc.
