The owner designating dimension property is created in any dimension used as a driving dimension for a BPF. You add the property to the dimension with any name, however we recommend using a naming convention to note the relationship to BPF owners. A dimension can have one or more owner designating properties as long as they are unique.

For example, if your business process dictates that an entity is the differing factor when it comes to entering data, then the Entity-type dimension is the dimension that drives the owner of the step region. If your business process dictates that a department name is the differing factor, then the Department dimension would have a unique owner designating property that drives the owner of the step region. The “Owner” property used for work status is a reserved property. The BPF owner properties must be named with a unique name.

Prerequisites

For the NetWeaver version of Planning and Consolidation, the dimension you select to drive must have at least an owner type dimension property. When more than one exists, you choose the appropriate property to use in the business process flow.

For the Microsoft version of the system, the dimension you select to drive work status has one hierarchy in the base hierarchy of the work status setting. See Setup of Work Status Dimensions.
