Entities dont extend like other dimensions so you would need a unique Entity dimension. You could combine them in a Top Level Cube under a common parent to facilitate reporting.
An Entity cant be a parent in Actuals and base in Plan like other dimensions.
The only way for linked cubes is to share the entire entity structure into another
I am thinking if it is a grand structure we may want to make a separate entity dimension altogether. If it is small would we just put the base member in? or use an alternate hierarchy.
