7b. Add name without space.

7c. The description is what will be shown in Younium.

7d. Make sure to add the Custom field list that you named in stage 4 under List, so for our example; Cost Center List.

7e. Add the custom field for these entities:

• charge (the charge on product level, will allow you to set a standard financial dimension on a product charge
• orderproductcharge (this will allow to alter the financial dimension on the individual charge on an order)
• order (optional: this will allow to set the financial dimension on the order level instead of charge level, making the dimension apply to all the charges on an order instead of each charge individually).
• invoice (this will allow you to apply a dimension to a whole invoice, overriding all previous dimensions selected)
• invoice line (this will allow you to apply a dimension to a line on an invoice, overriding the previous dimension selected for that charge)
