Understanding Attribute Groups
Attribute groups define sets of attributes used to model Settlement processing. These attributes when combined can be used to group data for aggregation, identify the appropriate estimation rules, load shapes, among other things. Attribute groups can be shared across several objects as a Settlement Item, Aggregation Measuring Component, and Settlement Unit.
Attribute groups are defined by:
• Division: The division to which settlement data based on attribute group belong
• Attribute Value Business Object: The business object used for attribute values based on the attribute group
• Attribute Field Mapping: Defines the fields and related extendable lookups that define the attributes defined by the attribute group. For each field configured, the related extendable lookup defines the possible values.
Refer to Configuring Attribute Groups for more information about setting up attribute groups.
