Introduction
Answer Groups are used by Questions to control the responses an Inspector might make.
Business and SAP Context
While Answer Groups can be used to control responses that update SAP Classification values, the preferred approach would be to maintain the Allowed Values in the Classification configuration. That ensures that user from within the SAP GUI have the same level of control as to BlueWorx users.
