Adding More InfoObjects into a Dimension

Question

Hi Team,
    I  have  enhanced  2lis_11_vahdr  with  5  partner  functions (in 7.0).
In order  to  load  the  data  into 2sd_c03 ,
Would  it  be OK to add  these 5 infoobjects  into the CUSTOMER dimension  which already  has 10  info  objects.?
Is  there a  better  way  to  handle  this.?
My  generic  question  is how many  infoobjects  should  a  Dimension  contain  for  optimal  purposes.?
Thanks  for  your time.

I am not sure if there is limit on the number of char you can have in the dim table, you can have all the char added to the customer master data but if you need any of the fields added is required for nav. then you need to turn it on as nav. attribute which will slow down the query peformance. Instead you could just add the fields in the cube in one of the dim related to customer so that your query performance is not affected, but the problem with is this that if one of the attribute you just added changed over time, the user will see the historical value of the attribute but not the new one. So, basically based on the scenario you have, you can come up to the best approach.
thanks.
