  Review Migration Data: If you are migrating data, ensure that the mapping of account groups from the source system to the target system is correct. Make sure that all necessary account groups are created in the target system before starting the migration.
  
  
  Check for Typos: Ensure that there are no typographical errors in the account group name in your migration files or configuration settings.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are using a specific migration tool, refer to the documentation for that tool to ensure that you are following the correct procedures for account group creation and mapping.
