A lot of customer require to ability to report on financial dimension in hierarchies. To support this requirement users can build dimension hierarchies, use number sequence logic in the dimension code or use dimension totals. These options don't allow for easy reporting using PowerBI. The financial dimension value attributes (just like product attributes), would fit better with the PowerBI reporting strategy.
Comments
This is a standard feature in some other ERP systems and is also very useful inside D365 and not only in BI, grouping for example some dimensions in financial dimension no1 will be not only be more accurate when taking a report, don't need to add anything when taking a saved view with a group of dimensions, it will also be automatically done.

Thank you for your feedback.
Currently this is not in our roadmap; however, we are tracking it and if we get more feedback and votes, we may consider it in the future.
Sincerely,
