Business Event Group 
Definition
Business event groups serve to classify business event types that share the same characteristics or deal with related subject matter such as Language Courses or Data Processing Courses.
A
business event group can contain subordinate event groups, which typically
contain multiple business event types. Thus, you can create a hierarchical
structure of event groups. The
hierarchical structure, starting with event groups and working down, makes
your business event catalog accessible and easy to navigate from the user's
point of view, and easier to create from your point of view. The business
event groups occupy the highest level of this hierarchy. You
could decide to start with the event group Data Processing Courses, for
instance. From here, you would work your way down to the individual events and
dates. Business event groups can also be selected as
subject areas in the search for business events in the Employee Self-Service
Training Center. Using
business event groups to structure your event catalog improves system
performance in the dynamic menus. To further improve performance, you can
define a virtual business event group as the top node of your event hierarchy.

Event Group (Infotype 1063). The
first two attributes are mandatory; all others are optional. Business event groups together with event types,
event dates, and the relationships that exist between them form a
hierarchical structure. You generally maintain these relationships when you
create a new object. In the
hierarchy, business event groups occupy the top level. You can make the
hierarchy as deep as you want by combining multiple event groups into one
higher level group. It is not mandatory to use business event groups at
all. If you decide not to use them, your business event types are classified
as Unassigned business event types and the resulting hierarchy is
flatter. In addition, any business event types you create but
do not assign to an event group are listed as Unassigned business event
types. Creating relationships between event groups and
event types considerably improves system performance. Creating a
