What is the needs of Sub groups

We can utilize sub groups in reporting. For Example we are grouping sales of an electronic retailer compnay into the following way

Main Group :  Sales Account
……………..Sub Group : Television Sale
………………………….Sub Group of Television Sale : Samsung Television Sale
………………………….Sub group of Television Sale : LG Television sale
………………………….Sub Group of Television Sale : Sony Television Sale
In the above hierarchy of groups you can easily identify the following things.
  1. Total sale of the company
  2. Out of the total sale how much is the total television sale
  3. Out of total Television sale what are the total sale of Samsung Tv,LG Tv and Sony Tv.
