# Set up plan groups

Plan groups are a collection of records that you group together and assign to accrual plans. For example, you can have an accrual group comprising customer records. You can then assign this customer accrual group to a sales accrual plan. When a sales transaction is created for a group member, the accrual plan is applied to the transaction (provided the sales transaction meets other criteria established on the accrual plan).

The following table describes a sequence of activities, with links to the topics that describe them. These activities are listed in the order in which they are generally performed.
