This cube dimension represents the general time dimension and is based on the IFS Applications dimension DIM_BI_TIME. Most part of the other time/date dimensions are based on this dimension.All cubes that refers to this dimension will have the attributes and hierarchies as described below.
NOTE that currenct year and month are defined by the date when the transfer was done to the data warehouse.
| Attribute | Hierarchy | Description |
| Current Month Flag | NO | Represents a flag that is set to 1 if the date represents the current month. Else the value is 0. |
| Current Year Flag | NO | Represents a flag that is set to 1 if the date represents the current year. Else the value is 0. |
| Last 12 Months Flag | NO | Represents a flag that is set to 1 if the date represents one of the last 12 completed months. Else the value is 0. If transfer date is 15 Nov 2012, then last 12 months means the range Nov 2011 until Oct 2012. |
| Last 24 Months Flag | NO | Represents a flag that is set to 1 if the date represents one of the last completed 24 months. Else the value is 0. If transfer date is 15 Nov 2012, then last 24 months means the range Nov 2010 until Oct 2012. |
| Date | NO | Key. The date converted to string according to the format 'YYYY-MM-DD' |
| Month | NO | Represents the name of the month with respect to Date. |
