  Key Concepts: 
  Cardinality is a term used in SAP to describe the relationship between two objects. In the FS-AM-CM-AC Account Assignment component, cardinality describes the relationship between an account assignment object and a cost object. It defines how many cost objects can be assigned to one account assignment object. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In the FS-AM-CM-AC Account Assignment component, cardinality is used to determine how many cost objects can be assigned to one account assignment object. For example, if the cardinality is set to “1:1”, then only one cost object can be assigned to one account assignment object. If the cardinality is set to “1:n”, then multiple cost objects can be assigned to one account assignment object.
