  Key Concepts: 
  Aggregation type is a component of the SAP FS-BA-SD Source Data Aggregation module. It is used to define the way in which data is aggregated from multiple sources. This includes the type of aggregation (e.g. sum, average, etc.), the source of the data (e.g. database, file, etc.), and any additional parameters that may be required for the aggregation process. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use aggregation type, you must first define the type of aggregation you wish to use. This can be done by selecting an appropriate option from the list of available aggregation types in the SAP FS-BA-SD Source Data Aggregation module. Once this is done, you can then specify the source of the data and any additional parameters that may be required for the aggregation process. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When defining an aggregation type, it is important to consider how it will affect the accuracy of your results. For example, if you are aggregating data from multiple sources, it may be beneficial to use an average or weighted average aggregation type instead of a sum or count aggregation type. This will ensure that your results are more accurate and reliable.
