Multidimensional Mapping is a tool that allows administrators to map data to an intersection by referencing dimensions other than the one being mapped. This can be helpful when administrators face more stringent data load requirements. This could be due to a GL string identifier in the source system, or the need to abide by certain requirements for system calcs to run properly. In this example, I will be focusing on the GL string scenario, but the concept can be applied in a variety of use cases.
