    Terms of payment can be pretty important, typically one group for domestic and another for foreign at the minimum.

    From the Accounts Receivable Setup:

    "Create and maintain groups of customers who share key parameters for posting, settlement and payment, reporting, and forecasting in the Customer groups form."

    The Customer Group Form in AX2012:

    I think the most important use is the Posting Profiles, which ledger accounts will you use to know the balance for your customers. It is generally done by Customer group
