Hi Kalika,

Dimensions configured in the system provide customers with multiple views of an expense and revenue analysis.

Authorization is required for viewing and defining dimensions.

To define dimensions, choose: Financials > Cost Accounting > Dimensions.

Note: This window appears only after you select the Use Multidimensions checkbox on the Cost Accounting tab of the General Settings window under: Administration > System Initialization > General Settings.

For more details you can find the below vedio for your reference.

If the entities are separate legal entities I would always advocate a separate database, otherwise you have the Branch or dimension options
