Have more than 5 dimensions that can be added within a plan

Hi,
We would like the ability to add more than five dimensions to a plan. This flexibility is important for us, as we often need to filter and analyze data across multiple dimensions to meet various business needs.

Different business units have unique requirements, and many are looking for a more granular view of their data. Allowing more than five dimensions would enable us to apply more detailed filters and better tailor the plans to each team's specific use case.

Thank you for considering this enhancement.

    We’re reconsidering our initial position on this. We do want to support more granular views of forecast data that enable detailed analysis and drill-downs into forecast details of your choosing. However, we may separate this use case — granular analysis of forecasted spend — from the budgeting and monthly forecast variance-tracking process that CFP is primarily designed to support.

    Is this functionality already available to use? As I can't see it at the moment, or maybe I don't know where to look :))

    However, we do plan to add more functionality to our current Forecast (non-CFP) page to support deeper and analysis and drill capability - which sounds like what you are really asking for. In other words, we plan to give you better analysis tools of forecasts that we generate from your prior spending patterns that will help answer questions of 'what' is going into a generated forecast.

    We just added more Cost Ownership dimensions to plans (up to 5 levels of cost ownership). You can have up to 20 additional plan-only dimensions (that you can use to attribute entered line-items). We do not plan to increase the number of forecast dimensions beyond that.
