• Key Concepts: 
  A multiple-value characteristic is a type of characteristic in the SAP CA-CL Classification component. It allows users to assign multiple values to a single characteristic, which can be used to classify objects in different ways. For example, a product can be classified by color, size, and material. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Multiple-value characteristics are used in the SAP CA-CL Classification component to classify objects. To use them, users must first create a characteristic and assign multiple values to it. Then, they can assign the characteristic to an object and select the appropriate value from the list of available values. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating multiple-value characteristics, it is important to ensure that all of the values are clearly defined and distinct from each other. This will make it easier for users to select the correct value when classifying an object. Additionally, it is important to keep track of which values have been assigned to which objects, as this will help ensure that objects are correctly classified.
