Target Design

Work with Metric Groups

Metric groups are a subcategory of field groups and provide a way to further organize data for metrics tracking and mapping. The metric groups are defined in Target Design and set for Target Fields in Target Design. Metric groups are displayed on the Field Mappings page in Map and several reports showing progress of the mapping process.

Each set of metric groups are delineated into logical sets of fields that relate to a screen within the Target system. For SAP-related objects, the metric groups can represent the tabs within an SAP screen or TCode (for example, Customer Basic, Sales, Company and Accounting).

Metric groups are like field groups in that they have a default metric group (*) that all fields are assigned to by default. The default metric group (*) cannot be deleted or updated.

NOTE: Metric groups cannot be assigned to fields when they are cloned for field groups. They can only be assigned to fields that are assigned to the default field group (*). For example, three field groups have been added in Target Design (FERT, HALB, and ROH). The field PSTAT is assigned to all three field groups and the default field group (*). A metric group can be added to the PSTAT field assigned to the default (*) field group, but cannot be assigned to the PSTAT field assigned to the FERT, HALB or ROH field groups.
