A site group is a number of sites that have been grouped together using the Classification System.

You can use the Classification System to group together sites that have similar characteristics or are located close to each other, for example. This simplifies data maintenance, and can also be of use for reporting purposes.

To create site groups, at least one class type has to be defined in the Classification System.

Application groups are defined in Customizing and are assigned the class type required for creating the relevant site groups. This class type uses the customer number of the site as the key. The application groups Allocation Table, Promotions, Season and Labeling are predefined to allow these applications to work with the intended site groups.

Site groups operate independently of company codes, distribution chains and other fixed organizational structures.
