Answer Posted / balaji bathala
If you have a characteristic that can have a large no,of distinct values it is the likely the dimension which you include these char contains same no.of records. The path from Fact table to Dim Table and then to SID Table will become critical for performance. If you make this dimension as LineItem then the SAP BW will not create DIM Ids and it creates the Dimension Table and this table will act as a just view.
Directly the SID is connected to the Fact Table. Here the SID will act as the key in the Fact Table.
Limitations:-
We can include only one Characteristic in the Line Item Dimension because the Key in the Fact Table is SID. We can Create SID for each characteristic separately.
