# Business Unit

This feature is only intended for Oxy but was then released to the general audience.

This predefined or virtual classification is an example of one-to-many mappings ("group-to-groups") used to categorize various cost centers into one group and calculate additive measurements (e.g., Elapsed Time and Denials).

# Cause of Deprecation

The RunETL data process takes up too much time due to the Business Unit query, causing a slowdown in processing the OLAP cubes, and slow data processing due to the Business unit query.

# Effects of Deprecation

The Business Unit will be removed from the Destination Field Sources in the Mapping Sources web interface, and users will not be able to report using Business Unit.

# Workaround

There is no workaround for this as the functionality has been completely removed.

# End of Life

Starting Open iT Version 10.0.0.
