Hi,

Line item dimension means the dimension contains precisely one characteristic. This means that the system does not create a dimension table. Instead, the SID table of the characteristic takes on the role of dimension table.

The header data is one which do not change frequently and the item data is one which change frequently.

eg.

customer id customer name are header data they are primary information

while.

cusrtomeradress phone no. material quantity change frquently and they are item level data

header and item level data are related by a key here customer id.

note: at header level there will be only one record pertaining to cone customer while there can be many record at item .level for one customer.

hope it helps..

Happy Life,
