Using Extensible Dimensionality to extend Accounts used within the Intercompany Matching process

In the D&R document it is mentioned "Using Extensible Dimensionality to extend Accounts used within the Intercompany Matching process is not a recommended practice". 

is there any particular reason for this? or is there any documentation showing this as an example?

Yes, my example is for the entity Intercompany extensions. But you can think of more examples where it could lead to issues due to different levels or accounts that become on-sided.

Intercompany is where the eliminations are happening. So if the dimensions are extended and they are different between, for example, entities, it will not be possible to match as the details on which to match are not the same.

Tim, will this apply for Entity IC extension?
