• Key Concepts: 
  Grouping rule is a feature of the Allocation Run component in SAP IS-AFS-ARUN. It allows users to group together different items or accounts for the purpose of allocating them to a single target account. This is useful for allocating multiple items or accounts to a single target account, such as when allocating multiple sales orders to a single customer account. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the grouping rule, users must first define the criteria for grouping items or accounts. This can be done by selecting the appropriate fields from the source and target accounts. Once the criteria have been defined, users can then select the items or accounts that should be grouped together and allocate them to a single target account. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using the grouping rule, it is important to ensure that all of the items or accounts being grouped together are related in some way. For example, if grouping sales orders, make sure that they are all related to the same customer account. This will ensure that the allocation process is accurate and efficient.
