2.01-20 Use Appropriate Dimensions for modules
When creating a module, consider the scope of the calculation and only include the dimensions that are needed. If the formula doesn't return the value required, or errors, don't keep adding dimensions until it does; it is better to review the calculation itself. Check other modules; you may already have a calculation module with the relevant dimensions, so add the calculation in the existing module
