Update Groups
An update group is a collection of rules which determine whether, and in what way, key figures are updated.
Key figures for the Retail Information System are determined from several operative applications in the SAP System. This means that updating groups that control updating in the Purchasing and Sales Information System and in Inventory Controlling are also used for the Retail Information System.
The following table illustrates the respective update groups for each application.
