What is Dimension Combination
To avoid posting entries with contradictory or irrelevant dimensions, you can block or limit specific combinations of two dimensions. A blocked dimension combination means that you cannot post both dimensions on the same entry regardless of what the dimension values are. A limited dimension combination lets you post both dimensions to the same entry, but only for certain combinations of dimension values.
Where to Use
In an organization, If one cost center(Dimension/Dimension Value) could not go along with another cost center(Dimension/Dimension Value) there you can use concept of dimension combination of Navision.
For e.g. A company is manufacturing pickles in Units of Maharashtra. Uteran unit of the company does not have the capacity and skill of producing Jack-fruit Pickle. So its obvious that there will not be any Expenses,Purchase or Production will be possible on that unit . Following are the Units and Product Group dimensions.
