Best answer about that so far http://markmail.org/message/hrbdnxoazvcfdpdb
They are used to classify accounts, but the main way of "grouping"
accounts is through the account hierarchy using the parent account ID
on GlAccount itself (ie implements an hierarchy, not a graph).
Also here is an old explanation, for GlAccountClass usage, by Si
who is the original author of that

You mean Si is the original author of that comment? Well... maybe...
But I have no ideas for GLAccountGroup usage, maybe yes, for what
you are looking for...
The basic idea behind GlAccountGroup is to have a structure where an
account can be in more than one group (as opposed to the main account
hierarchy where an account can only be under one other account).
However, there is the restriction that an account can only be in one
group per group type (which is why the PK is setup as-is).
In cases like this sometimes the demo data is the most useful way to
see how it works. The demo data I put together for that, and part of
the reason I created those entities, is in the UsTaxAccountGroups.xml
file. That use of groups allow you to configure different accounts for
different tax form fields and then the totals of those different
accounts for each field (group) can be summed up for the tax reporting.

Hi all,
Is someone using these entities?
GLAccountGroup
GlAccountGroupType
GLAccountGroupMember
I have to implement special Gl accounts grouping and I intended to
use these entities for this purpose, but I got confused of their
structure.
GlAccountGroup entity has glAccountGroupTypeId field and
GlAccountGroupMember entity also has this field that is part of the
pk.
I tried to find any information about these entities but they was
introduced 4 years ago and couldn't find anything related.
Thanks in advance!
