  Keep Whole Marketing Group is a feature of the IS-OIL-PRA-REV Revenue Management component of SAP. It allows users to define a group of marketing activities that must be kept together when calculating revenue. This ensures that all activities in the group are treated equally and that no single activity is given preferential treatment. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the Keep Whole Marketing Group feature, users must first define the group of activities they want to keep together. This can be done by selecting the activities from a list or by entering them manually. Once the group has been defined, users can then set up rules for how revenue should be calculated for the group. These rules can include things like how much each activity should contribute to the overall revenue, or how much of the revenue should be allocated to each activity.
