Use of a Rule Group
A rule group is a group of transformation rules within a Transformation. A rule group contains one transformation rule for each key field of the target. Each Transformation initially contains a standard rule group.
Besides this standard group, you can create additional rule groups. For a Characteristic, you can create different rules for different Key Figures.
A use case for an additional rule group would be the update of a particular Key Figure that depends on the Characteristics involved. For example, the bonus of an employee's manager is calculated in a different way than for the employee who generated sales volume.
In the figure above, the field Bonus is calculated in a different way for the Manager compared to the Employee.
Note
If you have defined a new rule in rule details, you can specify whether this rule is to be used as a reference rule for other rule groups. If it is used as a reference rule, then this rule is also used in existing rule groups as a reference rule where no other rule has been defined.
